As we each considered these topics in more depth we posed the question "How do we (Australia) as a society relate to these subjects"??

At first it wasn't that obvious, however we soon came to the undestanding that each individual topic resonates strongly with what Australia is about!
Being a young country as we are, means that we are still forging an identity on this planet.

1. In this way we are naturally very impressionable & open - 'flexible'.
2. In saying this we want to be known for being current & up to date  'mobile'.
3. Having been formulated from races from all around the world, this makes us inherently 'distributed' as a society. With ties to all corners of the globe.
4. The requirement is now to connect to family/friends everyhere & to do this we access the 'virtual' realm.

In these ways our future is "indeterminate". More so than other countries...
