Inside the first self-sustainable city on Mars - by ABIBOO studio
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

The future of Healthcare
The future of Healthcare
In 2040, healthcare has transformed into a marvel of personalised medicine. Ruth, a 35-year-old teacher, wakes up one morning feeling unwell. Instead of rushing to the hospital, she consults her AI-powered health assistant, which instantly analyses her symptoms and accesses her medical history online. The assistant recommends a tailored treatment plan, including a custom-made medication delivered by a drone within hours. Ruth's Apple Watch 99 continuously tracks her vital signs, sending real-time data to her healthcare provider. This allows her human doctor to adjust her treatment remotely, ensuring optimal care without the need for frequent visits. Stem-cell therapy has become commonplace, and Ruth's friend, Rob, has received a new liver grown from his own cells, eliminating the risk of rejection. Gene editing has eradicated many hereditary diseases, and predictive analytics helps prevent illnesses before they even manifest. The integration of technology and medicine has created a world where healthcare is not just reactive but proactive, ensuring a healthier and longer life for everyone.

In my country, the minimum wage should be 2500€.The food should be of good quality, no imports! All Bulgarians to be united! To have a Government, no mafia, no corruption! To stop the logging of forests! Let it stay that way, let more trees be sown!
Sigurnost svih ljudi
Sigurnost svih ljudi
I look forward to a future with plenty of green energy, in which people can move without limits, and my resolution is to make sure that there is no rancour, complacency and impatience among people, that plenty of food and water should be available to all people, and that there should be no great differences between rich and poor, that eaters should not be in pursuit of profit and thus exploit people, that if the pace of life is slowed down and people think about how to protect the planet from depletion and in this way contribute to their own union, that it does not become a nuclear circle and a circle for the mass destruction of the people, that people are brought together in an interdependent way and that if international organisations such as the European police and army are watched over
Neurodivergenz und Behinderung
Neurodivergenz und Behinderung
In the future, disabilities will be dealt with much more openly. Disabled people and their relatives will get what they really need for genuine participation. Individually, as they need it to shape their lives. This does not mean that they get everything for free. But that they are given the opportunity to realize their dreams despite their disability. There is a change in thinking, especially in the area of neurodivergence. These people are no longer seen as difficult, but their idiosyncrasies are accepted and they are not forced into a rigid mold, but treated according to their personality.
Вяра

I would like to see more happy people, no wars, poor people, not so many diseases and not so many sick people.More people believing in the good, doing good, not looking for benefits.People with values, believing and enjoying the little things, not just materialists and interests.Equality between everything,not separate societies-poor and rich ....Less lies,deceit,death....Right to a normal life for everyone.Help for all in need.Real wages,not lower than the cost of a normal family.
Changes

The year is 2040 and the world has changed dramatically in fifteen short years. Most of the major conflicts have come to an end and many that used to be enemies over land, religion, beliefs or other minor and so me say less significant reasons, now exist side by side and work to survive in harmony.

Den bedre verden
Den bedre verden
I imagine myself living with my hopefully wife we have had maybe three kids, max three kids. Most importantly there is peace in the world. Russia and their tyranny has come to an end. Imperialism has ended. Capitalism has receded and there is generally more equality, less inequality, democracy, independence and a free society we can all be in. We fly less, we talk to each other, we are diplomatic and we solve problems by talking together instead of fighting each other.

I think that in the future most of the jobs will have robots to do them like cashier or cleaners. The cars will be mostly electric and we will do everything from our phones such as clothes shopping and it will tell you what size you should buy based on your body measures
