Business Ideaz

ok, so i would like to begin cataloging some of my business ideas.  you are free to take these ideas and run with them.  well, i suppose i take that back.  if you do use some of my ideas, then you must at least recognize me and make me your corporate executive... something (ces).

my most recent idea came to me while being addicted to this video game named fallout 3.  i go through phases of various addictions, video games being one of them.  keep in mind that i am still recuperating from my shoulder surgery (its been about a week and 3 days now).  this means that i am relegated to low-mobility activities.  this leaves me sitting within the confines of my brothers household with one arm.  hence the poor typing and capitalization skills.

During my college years i had studied religion and philosophy.  you probably understand that philosophy is a whole lot of fun theories.  but how does one study religion?  well there are two main approaches, the anthropological approach and the philosophical approach.  boston university took the latter, so basically i got a double dose of philosophy.  anyway, i am just trying to emphasize how much theory i was exposed to.  i loved it, no doubt but i lacked practical applications.  so, for the past few months i've been interested in things one might consider practical.

therefore i've been reading some books on surviving in the wild as well as watching survivor man (way better than man v wild).  if only a greater percentage of the population knew what to do in serious situations, then the odds of dying/major injury would decrease.  

without further ado, thus is my idea

create a video/computer game that focuses on what to do in extreme situations.  for instance, what to do in a car wreck or if your house catches fire.  studies show that simulations of events are the best way to prepare yourself (without actually having this happen).  the car wreck example and the house catching fire are the two best examples because they probably occur the most.

so what is the incentive for people to do this you might ask?  well, if a customer buys the game and beats it, then he is eligible to go take a test at a designated center.  once he passes the test then his insurance costs will go down.  sounds nice right?  i think if you could lower someones insurance costs then it would be a nice incentive to buy the game.

it might be hard to find quantifiable results from taking these tests... but thats a bridge i would have to cross when i came to it.

whaddya think?  ..sounds good in theory right?
