I found an interesting survey that was done in the U.S. recently. It can be found at:

The “Design for Living” survey found that compared to others, the 18 to 29 age group – the so-called millennial generation – places greater importance on design in workplace satisfaction, in purchasing products and in making significant decisions such as choosing
which city to live in and where to work. For example:
• Millennials are happier (74 percent), more motivated (64 percent) and more efficient (31 percent) in a well-designed workplace.
• They are willing to pay more for an appealing product design, whether it’s a car (67 percent), furniture (60 percent) or a video game system (31 percent).
• They give serious thought to public spaces (66 percent), beauty and architecture (42 percent) when considering relocation to a new city.
• Nine in 10 Millennials also care more than any other age group about sustainable design of new buildings for well-being and resource efficiency.
Do Brandonites care this much about design? What do you think of Brandon?
Do people actually care what their electronics look like (i.e. video game console)?
Do you care about your aesthetics at work?
Do you care about the way the city looks?
I'm 28 and I personally actually answered yes to all of those questions. I know I care but I'm wondering about you guys? What ya think?
