Piano Stairs
When you have the option, do you choose the stairs or the escalator/elevator and why? Would having the option of "piano stairs" change your decision? Do you think this video says anything about America as an obese nation? The video stated that "fun can obviously change behavior for the better." Name something that should be made fun so that more people participate and benefit?

It depends on how crowded each one is. I personally dont like to be in a crowded place, so I take what ever has fewer people. No, the piano stairs would be aggrivating. Yes, many people are to lazy to walk up the stairs. School, if school was more exciting, the studetns would want to come, and the society as a whole would be more interested in what was going on there.

I usually choose the escalator. I choose the escalator because something is less likely to happen to you if it breaks or malfunctions. The stairs is not my option because I am too lazy to take them. Having the option of “Piano stair” may change my opinion maybe once or twice, just to try them out. I think that more Americans would choose the piano stairs because they think it would be fun.

I usually use the stairs because I am trying to loose weight unless I'm carrying a lot of stuff and no one is there to help me. I would go crazy on those stairs it that happened. I would put those in my house. It would be crazy fun. I think that this experiment says a lot about the American people today. I think that a lot of things have been made more fun so more people do it but it does take more. If everything is made fun so people will do it, people will only do what is fun. If you only do what is fun you may choose not to do what is neccisary.
I choose both the escalator and the elevator. But sometimes I take the stairs. Yes, "Piano stairs" might shange my opinion. It video didn't express anything about obese America. They said stuff about it, but it was subtle and minute. School should be made more fun. If the school board made learning more fun instead of dull, people would do and learn more.

I would take the escalator because I like to play piano so I would take the escaltor. Another thing I like about escalator is that I can do the escalator all day long If I want to. I like the escalator It is fun so like the escalator. alot of people like the escalator because I go to the mall they have a escalator so I be seen alot of people going on the escalator. brittany Eley
When I have the option I normally go for the escalator because you don't see many of them. Having piano stairs is a lot more fun than just walking stairs or escalators. This video says that there are a lot of obese Americans. They would rather ride than take the energy to walk. They should make running more fun. Running takes a lot out of you and works you out. The track should have noise or something to it. More people would get exercise.

I usually choose the escalator or elevator, unless there is a long line because going up the steps doesn't really bother me. I'm always scared that my shoelaces are going to get caught in the escalator and it's going to take my shoe. Having the option of the piano stairs would definitely change my decision. I think the video shows that we could help the obesity problem by making exercise fun. I think people should try to make walking more fun so people would walk to close by stores instead of driving. This especially applies to when shoppers are at the mall and they want to go to stores that are at opposite ends, but instead of getting in the car and driving to the other store, they could walk and get exercise.

HA THE ESCALATOR, I like taking it easy when I can. However if there was a "piano stairs" I would probably use it to have a little fun. Escalators are kind of an escape from doing more work but for most I don't think it would cure obesity or anything. Something I think that could be beneficial to people is walking more in general but it is kind of boring so wouldn't do that as much so if there was a way to make the fun and entertaining then just going for a walk I think it could be somewhat fun.

Honestly I would chose the stairs over the escalator beacause I am honestly scared of the esclator I have heard so many stories about people getting their foot stuck in one of the stairs im just scared. With the opitoin of panio stairs it would make it a lot more fun to choose the stairs. There are a lot of things that can be made fun to encourge more people to use them instead of the normal boring way. One example would be having more walking trails and adding excitment to the trail such as technogly such as the panio stairs and other games to make walking fun.

If I had the option to choose the stairs or the escalator/elevator, I would choose the stairs because it looks fun and it makes music when you step on them. If having the option of "piano stairs" it would change my decision. I think the video does say something about America being an obese nation. I think the video stated that "fun can obviously change behavior for the better" because instead of using the escalator they are actually walking up the stairs. I think making exercise fun would be cool. If many people have something they like, and they put it into exercise, they would most likely participate.

Most of the time I choose to take the escalator or the elevator because it requires less work. In some cases I may choose the stairs if I am trying to waste time. Having piano stairs would not have a major influence on me to walk the stairs, because after a while the noise who begin to bother me. I think this video tried to show that taking the stairs would help the health of the citizens of the United States. I think that school should be made fun so that more people can participate and benefit.

Most the time I take the escalator or elevator over the stairs. It’s just quicker and more convenient when you’re on the move. The "piano theory" definitely looks fun. I don't think that the video is saying that America is obese; I think it's just saying that we're lazy and we need to break these bad habits. So they found a fun way to do so. I think they should find a fun theory for something that’s not fun.

Most of the time I would choose to take the escalator or elevator instead of the stairs. Most people probably use the escalator and elevator because it is easier and takes less effort. Having the option of "piano stairs" would probably change my decision because they seem fun. It would probably change the decisions of other people and get a lot more people to use the stairs. I think that school should be made more fun so that more people would actually want to participate. If school was fun more students would do better in school and would actually want to do well.

When I have the option of stairs or escalator/ elevator I usually choose the escalator or elevator. Yes the piano stairs would change my decision about taking the escalator. I do think it says something about America as an obese nation. The video is stating that American usually takes the easy way out with exercise. I can’t really think of anything to make more fun. -Alia H.
I would choose the staircase because that seem fun to just run up and down as you here the noise. Yes, because stair take to long to get up. Yes, because it shows how lazy people are in our world. That is a ashame that we are a lazy nation. I think something that should be made fun is school lectures. Than we wouldn't get bored in them and start to talk.

When I have the option, I choose the elevator/escalator over the stairs, because they're fun. No, piano stairs wouldn't change my decision because they would be cute but not fun.I think this video says that people think it's easier to take the stairs until they made a reason to take the hard way. Something that should be made fun so more people participate in it is track, because if it was more fun I might be on the track team.
~Danielle Carr~
I’d rather do the elevator than the stairs, not because I’m lazy but the elevator/escalator is faster. Having piano stairs would definitely make me want to use the stairs. I do think this video says something about America, because we will take the easier way out, but will work harder if its fun. SCHOOL! I think if teachers made school fun, but kept the challenge there would be less kids dropping out of school. I think fun hides the challenge in anything.

I usually take the escalator because it's fun. I would use the "piano stairs" because they seem fun and I would be the one jumping up and down on it. America is an obese nation definitely, we take the easy way out. I think everything should be made more fun that's good for us. Maybe the gross but healthy food should be made better.

When I have the choice, I definitely choose the escalator. I don't do elevators or stairs. Elevators creep me out, and stairs take too long. Yes, I would love the stairs just to play a little tune. I don't get the message of it saying America is an obese nation. But then again, they changed the stairs. I think the stairs in the school should be made like that. Because, not only would they be fun, but teachers would also know if someone was playing hooky from class.
When I actually have the option of going up the stairs... I will definitely take the stair. I do not really like riding elevators unless I need to like carry things up it like in hotels or if I'm tired. I just like walking up stairs and I don't know why though... No these "piano stairs" would not change my mind. Yes I think this video shows a fine example of laziness. I mean why take the "piano stairs" if you wont take a regular one? It makes no since to me. You're still climbing... I think if school was more interesting and had more activities like "JROTC", or other programs like colleges do...

I choose the escalator because I'm lazy. If we had piano stairs I would skip classes just to play on the stairs. I think that they are silently stating that people need to stop using the escalator and start using more calorie burning alternatives. "Fun" can easily change an individual's decision especially for those who have boring jobs. Something as simple as piano stairs can really brighten up someones day. I think something that should be made more fun is work, cause NO ONE wants to participate in that.
I choose the stairs because I don't trust the escalator/elevator, they freak me out. Not really because that just make the stairs even more fun. Well it says that most American rather be a slight more, not much, lazier. I have no idea of what too name that could be more fun so more people would participate. But maybe swings could be put in the hallways, I really don't know. James St. Peter
I would have taken the stairs to just for the fun of it. It would change my decision because if it look fun then I'm all for it. America is an obese nation. We always take the easy way. If it involves less work then that's the way we're taking. School should be more fun!
-Summer Wilson
If I had the option between stairs or the escalator/elevator, I would definitely choose the escalator/elevator any day. The piano stairs i admit is a very good idea. I would probably walk on them just for fun. Yes I do believe America is an obese nation. I think that school should be more fun.
~Kayla R.
I choose the escalator because if something happens to the escalator you can just walk right off and if something happens to the elevator then you are stuck in there. Probably not because that would get annoying after a while. I do because most of the obese people chose the escalator. I think reading should be make fun of because when we get assigned a book to read everyone groans and I think if they did something fun to make it more interesting more people might want to read and do the assignment.

If I ever get the choice I do usually choose the escalator/ I think I would choose the piano stairs at first but after a while it would kind of get on my nerves. I think this video is definitely says that America is an obese nation. We eat junk food way too much and it's offered way too much. I think if we put more fun activities all over the place in Windsor people would do them more. Things like parks to hang out at and activities to do just to hang out with friends.
-Amber Bass
I chose it because I so lazy don't feel like walking. Yes because I'm just a big kid little things that is cool get my attention.Yes because most people taking the elevator.A slide would be very cool because people like sliding. i use the stairs most of the time I need to lose so weight. Its really best for people to use the stairs because less we will have people being big.
Jesmine Murphy
Most of the time I take the escalator because it is fun to go up and down (lol do not ask, I just love it). Piano stairs would definitely change my mind; I would go crazy just playing with them. It did not exactly say that but yes, I think it is trying to express the obesity in America. I think that they should make eating healthy more fun and more people would do it. In addition, exercising would be a great thing to become fun; I think it would help America obesity rate decrease.
~Andrea Johnson
I usually choose the escalator because I hate using the stairs i'm a little lazy. But to me it's not a problem to use the stairs because i'm not obese. If the stairs were piano I would use them, but jsut once. I think that they need to make exercising fun because There are to many obese people in america.
Brittany Posey
I would choose the stairs, only because most the time there aren't any escalator or elevators, so I don't have a choice. I prefer escalator over elevators because I can see what is happening with elevators, I am in a box basically. If it was a piano stairs, I would defiantly take them! I think they are trying to say we are an obese nation. And I agree, we are a really obese nation! I make every class have laptops and at the end of every class we have to have 15 minutes to complete homework.
