This idea could be too general. I wanted to focus on an aspect of sustenance, while still looking at broader picture. Instead of comparing the developing aspect of sustenance with the development of technology and research, i decided to look at it from a more personal level - my own development of sustenance. As I moved from India when i was 4, to Australia, then to New Zealand when i was 11, my own ideas of sustenance was changing. More importantly, it was the quality of maintaining my living standards. Computers, Fast-paced entertainment, video games, high levels of hygiene, a soft spring mattress etc. were slowly beginning to become something that i 'required,' a necessity that developed into my way of living.
But this can be for anyone, someone living in a western country with a higher standard of living, vs. e.g. a tribesman in rural africa, who would have a much simpler ideology of his sustenance.
An inspiration the tutors provided to me was the mobius strip
