End of the Summer Contest: The 21st Century!

Those of you who have seen this first post before will notice that it has changed. This thread was set up to be the 21st Century Contest, set to run from Aug - Sept 10, 2015. Unfortunately, it wasn't as popular an idea as I'd thought, and I ended up being the only contributor to the contest. wow. Well, the purpose of the contest was to encourage the making of 21st century units, leaderheads, techs and wonders, and by gum, I'm just gonna keep doing that here. So I encourage anyone who makes such a thing to post it in this thread, even though the contest is over. I'd like to see what you do.

I put together a little list of ideas for those who might use some inspiration:



Others have posted their ideas below. The point is, we need some modern stuff for this game. Show me what you can do about it. My entry is at post #8.

Um but why is universal healthcare on the list? That has existed since the 20th century in many countries hasn't it?

Might try for a building if I can find something interesting to c and p or some techs. Hard to find time for modding though at the moment.

I have ideas.

Point taken, but it's still in the future here, dude. The list is just a bunch of suggestions anyway, something to get the neurons firing. I like alot of RHKINC's suggestions, too.

Game of Thrones TV show as a wonder? Produce happiness.
The Occupy Movement (tech?)
Smartphones/mobile devices
Social media
Space tourism
Bitcoin
BitTorrent
Ebooks
Web 2.0
The synaptic web
Linux (not exactly 21st Century but becoming much more popular this Century)
Raul Castro (leaderhead)

I'd say TV show instead of Game of Thrones.

Something like "hit TV show" and "blockbuster film "for small wonders.

It's contest deadline day, so here's my entry:

I'd like to congratulate the winner (me) and everyone who entered the contest (me). If you're following this thread, I've changed the first post to reflect the fact that I don't want this idea to go away. We still need 21st century stuff for the game, and I'd still like to see it!

Congratulations Balthasar!

Sorry I didn't get round to entering :/
