Daily Life and Economy Part 2

Free Time:

Free time would be doing whatever you want-going on a computer, reading, writing, exploring-as long as the activity does not go against rules. For example, exploring an active volcano when there is clearly a skull and crossbones on a nearby sign. (Of course, that wouldn't happen, children would be kept a safe distance away from the volcano {field trips are an exception}).

Immigrancy:

Every applicant will be screened EXTREMELY carefully. There is an electromagnetic field encircling the island fifty miles away. There could be posts around the circle, kind of like the immigration system on Ellis Island. If an immigrant can enter and has all of the right papers and stuff, the field is removed only in that specific area. The only way to reach the island is by boat. If an unwanted aircraft or boat tries to cross the field, its GPS and navigational gear is disabled until they leave the area. It's kind of like a force field-impenetrable unless invited.

Technology:

There are no TVs, but desktops and laptops that are basically TVs at the same time. That saves money. But everyone has a profile, with a password and user name to access the technology, just to make sure a seven-year-old is not watching a R-rated movie. Saying this, the whole world's channels are available to our residents, because our residents are from all over. Our island is moderately advanced in terms of technology.

Economy and Agriculture Part 2:

Our food is mainly imported from other countries, but agriculture is still a large factor in our economy. Our soil is brown, meaning it's average. Some plants are grown on our island, the surplus of which are exported. Our island is renowned for its tropical fruits. Processed goods and other vital things we import in exchange for the tropical food we export, such as bananas, cacao, etc. This is where students who do not continue their education onto high school come in and become laborers.
Meals are prepared all in one giant area. Families pay for the ingredients and specify what meal they want and kitchen laborers make it for them. On birthdays and other special occasions, they can make their own food, since our utopia is based on individuality.
When a person gets sick, they go to the doctor. Being a doctor requires one to finish college and more. Health care is free.
