Style/Flavour

New Discoveries

• A new Area of Education titled “Emotional Expression Studies” where people learn how to show emotions in social settings
• Deeper Animal-human connections (as more and more people have emotional support animals)

How The World Feels

• The world feels more lonely and singular and individualistic
• Technologically noisy; vocal silence
• Solitude even in a crowd
• Loss of empathy and shared physical connections
• No physical communities (but communities across the world are more virtual)
• Polluted air due to excessive deliveries/vehicles
• More connection towards animal companions over other humans

Common Norms

• Due to constant surveillance, and lack of socialization, anxiety/depression is common. Mental health conditions are not taboo, everybody has some sort of concern related to mental health.
• Normal to have emotion tutors (individuals who tutor others on emotional wellbeing and emotional intelligence)
• No pen to paper skills
• Common to see individuals rather than groups of individuals
• Common to be unmarried, no children
• Concept of Day/Night has disappeared (and people have their own 24 hour schedules). (kind of similar to how an emirate like Dubai functions, people are working day/night)

Futuristic Tech or Revelations

• Due to decline in health, technology relating to healthcare monitoring is on the rise, more research being done for creative devices that immediately pinpoint healthcare concerns
  • Eg. Wearable/Injectable healthcare technology (instead of a few people wearing it, everybody is wearing it)
• Scan wrist instead of show healthcards (centralized database where all of your health records are accessible to medical professionals)
• Window tints are automatic (you can flip a switch and tint your windows or un-tint them)
