Inside the first self-sustainable city on Mars - by ABIBOO studio
Construction of the city of Nüwa could start in 2054 and will see 250,000 people live inside the rock of a steep cliff. Freeze my body, melt me in 80 years, and send me to Mars. Architecture studio ABIBOO has revealed its plans to create the first self-sustainable city on the Red Planet, which is set to be ready for residents in 2100. The city will be called Nüwa and will be located at Tempe Mensa on one of the Martian cliffs. Its position inside a rock on the steep cliff will protect its residents from radiation and meteorites (cool!) while still giving them

Nuestro futuro
Nuestro futuro
January of the year 2040 arrived. Much has changed since 2025. Everything is much more digital, the screens occupy a large part of the surfaces where there were other materials before. It is true that now everything arrives before, the information, the purchases, everything is communicated with everything, it is a great advance. There are small populations on the Moon (only the richest and wealthiest on planet Earth travel). The comide has changed a lot, now more presence of artificial food, manufactured by machines, not as before the earth gave us these delicacies. But not everything is good. Now people are more lonely. Communications are usually virtual and few personal. This brings losses of values, a great loss. Natural food tasted better and was more pleasant to eat. The future is here to stay, but not everything is good. I don't think we're on the right track. We should do better because the future is uncertain and if we do not take care that it is improved we can end very badly.

I see the future of Europe as a place where fairness, sustainability, and social responsibility are at the heart of society. I hope that single parents receive more support from the state, whether through financial aid, better childcare options, or more flexible work opportunities. Raising a child alone should not mean struggling endlessly, and society should do more to ensure that single parents and their children have the same opportunities as any other family. Parental leave should also be equally accessible to both parents, allowing them to take time off work without financial stress. In the future, I hope it becomes the norm for both parents to share in the early months of childcare, creating stronger family bonds and a more equal division of responsibilities at home. At the same time, I believe the influence of social media needs to change. Right now, too many people make money from it in ways that encourage unhealthy lifestyles, unrealistic expectations, and misinformation. I hope that in the future, social media will focus more on meaningful interactions, education, and creativity rather than being a platform for quick money and exploitation. Another crucial issue is the housing crisis, which is making it harder for people to find a stable home. I hope Europe works toward solutions that make housing more affordable, whether through better policies, sustainable urban planning, or new housing initiatives. Everyone deserves a safe and secure place to live, and this should be a priority for the future. Most importantly, I hope that my generation and the next will take better care of our planet, protecting nature, animals, and sea creatures from harm. Climate change, pollution, and overfishing are major threats, and we need to take stronger action to reverse the damage. Europe should lead the way in sustainability, ensuring that future generations inherit a world that is healthier, cleaner, and more balanced. A fairer, more responsible, and more sustainable Europe is the future I hope for. Thanks for reading. Every little helps. Make this world, a better place.

Artificial intelligence will certainly be one of the key players in 2040, thanks to which you will be able to develop your abilities and communicate in every language with people from all over the world. Self-driving vehicles travel on roads and streets, and flying drone taxis can quickly reach any corner of the world. Medicine has certainly invented a cure for cancer, and one might think that this chronic disease has been forgotten. hope is that wars have disappeared and more children are born, because everyday problems are solved by the solutions and variants invented by artificial intelligence.
Pace si bunastare pentru toti

The future should be peaceful, and nations should work together to ensure peace and well-being for all, but also for future generations. We should also work together to provide future generations with a healthy environment, sufficient resources and biodiversity just as we have inherited from generations before us. We should act immediately to combat climate change and take concrete and effective action to ensure efficient use and safeguard the earth's resources.

Ruimte voor alles en iedereen.
Nature has found a new balance and is no longer threatened. Climate change has stabilized and ceased. The new balance allows people, animals and plants to grow and flourish. There is space for everyone and nature is no longer threatened by humanity. Animals have space to flourish in their own habitat and are given space by humans. There is also space for everyone on earth. Borders are not there to hold people back. There are no wars and people do not have to flee.

Künstliche Intelligenz: Fortschritte in der KI könnten dazu führen, dass Maschinen noch intelligenter und effizienter werden, was die Art und Weise, wie wir arbeiten und leben, revolutioniert. Quantencomputer: Diese könnten komplexe Probleme lösen, die für herkömmliche Computer unmöglich sind, und zu Durchbrüchen in Bereichen wie Medizin und Klimaforschung führen. Erweiterte Realität (AR) und Virtuelle Realität (VR): Diese Technologien könnten vollständig immersive Erlebnisse bieten, die in Bereichen wie Bildung, Unterhaltung und Medizin genutzt werden.

Most of the time when the Welfare system of the entire world is updated to a level that no diagnoses are existing with direct solutions shared by great projects to have access to prevention & Cure by regenerative era in Medicine, the most important part of any life Will be aimed to Art & Culture. Prople with Education are not forced to work 100% to have access to income. The real deal in Medicine & Medical Devices to rely on Will change the quality of life to another level that should exist from 1996. To give access to so much tax-toxicity afterwards when the entire world is Rich with new regulations via insurance created by @NegarRiahi & written Idea sent to @Phoenix.h2020 to update Horizon Europe about Humanity & Real Effective Poison Free Circular Economy as a solution to stop pollution & respect Prople at cellular level, Will open a gate to a paradise We Can live with no press from any human being who created an Industry to take advantage of our existance to force desinformation & treatments come along as extra job for human being and mankind to develop Poverty instead of give access to time to exist with our friends & relatives to learn more about sustainable art & culture & understand the aim of Living in peace with ourselves & Nature. I hope the world Will understand the concept of Living in harmony even via Dentistry to remove so much press on all bransches there people just educate eschother to correct the disaster Dentists alone created via toxic Materials nobody event Can hold in their hand to tolerate, and the reason Why we never Can get rid of the disaster is zero regulation in Dentistry that became a project via Democracy to save Prople from being affected all the time by keeping the non inert materials in the oral cavity. If We give access to real life once via Dental Technicians & Create best prevention via regenerative materials already existing out of reach from best Companies, then the government & social Welfare board Will have enough redouces to create Advanced quality of life fir many unemployed individyals in all regions and cities to develop best life with quality managementet via so much circular Health that gives access to global exisrsnce that is worth eternal powers as existance is worth more than money created by force via peace of papers. The art of Pottery & any other capacity We Can find as real Education to develop with our hands should be seen and worth a lot even in the future. We have to give a concept to human experience & the efforts of all artists with contracts are the same as artists in social media as civil society to add eschother when they are visibel in the world to have an open creative connection to the world via AI and all tools that are not Only created fir business. The best creation was once supprted via GOD creating Adam & Eve with zero income. @Wipo_Nafas on Instagram Will solve many problems & should get support from MPA & TLV & Government that are creating new regulations to support the innovation & concept to wik afterwards WIPO global Award. The importance of global health and removal of desinformation via all actions is needed from all branches but the hidden part of the problems related to toxicity is discussed by me via Medscape & CAPP to give advice via my Education as dental Technician with Other important visions to see the treatments to develop the same concept GOD had in his mind when regeneration and paradise was created again on Earth as We wish to see in each HOME there We Can start life without being strangers to eachother. Humanity wiki breath again after same day, having access to real health via Euipo regulations & European Commission & EMA #NoHarm rule there Technology becomes like eternal solutions with @ErernalNafas as Well registrering best friendship with all platforms to sustain how to breath with the entire existance with Love & Respect to Furure of life on Earth.
