011 [W3] DISTRIBUTED

Context:
The year is 3000:
            - Water levels have risen by 30m since 2011
            - Food shortage worldwide
            - Climate has increased on average by 7 degrees
            - World population is down to 1 billion
            - Water stress on 95 % of earth
Fossil Fuels have depleted

Users:
- President of Australia            52 yrs
- Wife                                      46 yrs
- Son 1                                   16  yrs
- Son 2                                     4  yrs

Current Address:
Parliament House
Canberra

Situation
Below is a diagram showing immediate concerns facing australia;
   - average temp increase
   - hunger
   - water levels

















The president has just been told that a epic 1 in 200 yr. storm is about to hit what is left of Australia.
He sits through the progression of information, which his minions have established…

The family has two options of approach.
1. Stay, leading the people to an uncertain future
                  - Possible death
                  - Uncertainty
2. A scientist has recently approached you regarding a new system that maximizes resource collection and distribution whilst catering for accommodation and communication
                  - Has not been completely tested in all elements
                  - Only room for 4 people to live for prolonged period of time [wife and both son's?]

Strategies / Results
Strategy one:
Stays to battle the uncertain elements
           - Earths population dwindles after too many years of starvation
           - Lost son due to lack of healthy food
           - Wife becomes pregnant which ends up as a miscarriage and death of wife

Strategy two: 
Receives new mode of distribution which scientist proposed.
           - Changes the fate of human kind
           - Connects up with other people utilizing this system
           - Together recreates mankind as a distributed, well oiled system
Ideally reaching a stage of enlightenment:
