#AntiCOVID19Screensaver
BEHAVIOUR CHANGING SMARTPHONE WALLPAPERS THAT WORK AS REMINDERS TO HELP PREVENT THE SPREAD OF COVID-19. Created by Renato Tata & Stefania Esposito. Free to use for everyone.
The mobile phone, the thing people rely on the most to keep in touch with their families, friends and the news about what is going on in the world, can also be the worst source of contagion. We unlock our phone around 80 times every day and touch the screen 2,617 times. That’s 80 - well, maybe 2,617 - extra chances of catching COVID-19. To raise awareness about this shocking truth and keep people safe, we have created a series of wallpapers called #AntiCOVID19SCREENSAVER that could prevent the COVID-19 spreading. Every time you touch the screen, the problem is literally highlighted, working as a reminder to wash your hands and disinfect your phone screen, too. Because washing your hands and then handling your full of germs phone makes washing your hands in the first place pointless. This is a simple and useful solution for something so important to all of us, these days. The only goal is for people to use it and spread the #AntiCOVID19Screensaver instead of the virus.
INSTAGRAM STORIES
The initiative was first launched on Instagram. Using stories, we invited our friends to try this experiment. By simply taking a screenshot, everyone could grab the #AntiCOVID19Screensaver and set it as a wallpaper reminder on their own devices.
