Imagine if the iEverything were real, if many jobs no longer require humans to do, and that you had universal basic income. What would your life be like? iamsooty https://padlet.com/iamsooty/9c2k4aw3z1b/wish/147422571 2017-01-16 21:59:10 UTC https://padlet.com/iamsooty/9c2k4aw3z1b/wish/147422571 Q2. Do you know anyone who does not have to work to survive?

  • Instead of typing in point form or in single words, write full sentences - as if you're having a conversation with your oral examiner
  • Write more than just one sentence. Explain and justify your answers. For Q1, for example, don't just describe say "I will eat and sleep all day." Tell me why you would end up doing that.
  • There is no limit on how long your reflection can be. If you have more than one thing to say, feel free to type a longer reflection or to create multiple boxes for yourself. In fact, I encourage to say as much as you can as possible on your own.
    • Happy thinking!
