'Zen curtain' saves birds from hitting glass windows
They should make one for people.<p>A Midwest bank was remodeling their in-supermarket branches with glass walls. It looked really spiffy and let in a lot more light. Then a few weeks later they had decals up on some of the glass panels and they were frosting others and I asked a teller why they changed.<p>It turns out that many people were slamming into the glass walls,  usually when turning a corner quickly, (my guess: while staring at their phones!) and hurting themselves, so the bank decided it was better to get ahead of the inevitable lawsuit and make the clear glass more visible.<p>How we've managed to survive this long as a species is beyond me.
