Inspiration/Idea Generation

I have found on the website http://inventorspot.com a clever design that designer Yan Lu has created. It is called "Poor Little Fish Basin" and plays on human emotions in order to encourage them to save water. As you use the water from the tap, the water in the fish bowl goes down. Making you stop wasting the water before the poor little fish dies!
I like the way this uses human emotion to encourage saving energy and think it is really effective. It will be interesting to play with this human emotion in a digital way. I also think children are easily manipulated through human emotion, so this could be interesting to investigate.
