It seems that those saying, “are we really this sad that we need video games on street lights to entertain us,” are missing the point a bit.

First sentence on the web-site: “StreetPong is a concept about playful urban interactions.” The last three words are the key here. I think it is a cool way to encourage complete strangers in a big anonymous city to have a little interaction, and then get to shake hands or high-five as they pass each other crossing the street.

Who knows what positive effects little ideas like this could foster?
