Living and Learning in 2034. It is 2034 and the economy is doing very well; however society tends to be competitive and individualistic. This is Sakura’s story….

https://hefutures.wordpress.com/2014/03/28/digital-islands-living
Living and Learning in 2034. Continuing with our exploration of the Digital Islands scenario, this post explores what student life might be like in a stagnant UK economy and a competitive society in 2034. In this frugal age, today’s students are willing to accept fewer frills than their parents did, if it means they pay less. All they ask is that housing is clean, well maintained, functional and safe. Beyond those basics, they are willing to accept considerable variance in quality. Extra-curricular activ...
