Wow, sounds like a lot for your sister too! Well, each country has their own rules, I won't tell you about all the study work I had to do as it will make you dizzy haha.
Fighting the government for less 'e-something' sounds good too, the world has to be more accessible, not less, not all progress is good if it excludes whole groups of people. At least keep everything hybrid so the less e-literate can still be part of society.
Well - next year find yourself a small cool project that makes you curious/in a learning state, doesn't have to be perfect as long as it's something new and motivating :D Hoping to be more creative myself too this year, it's been a while.
