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

Az emberiség jövője az AI forradalom tükrében
By 2050, AI will "profoundly" transform the world, AI will help make research development more efficient, help streamline public transport, help medical science, help perform complex operations with pinpoint accuracy. People will be happier and more relaxed because crime will be pushed into the background as AI-driven technologies come to the fore.
Moja budućnost, moja sloboda
I see myself at peace in 2040. I have enough peace to live in, to be able to afford to travel with my supporters on any given day to a certain country, e.g. France, Paris. We can afford to go to bed in the morning and have a dinner, a breakfast and an evening meal. It does not have to be often, every two years. I see myself in the summer and I am full of energy and I am going to continue with my sporting activities in the future. I see myself in a mountaineering club with a good team conquering various peaks in Croatia. In one of the trails I am becoming a buck, I enjoy the little children, I am always there for them, they come to me, I go to them. I look at my child and I am proud of them because they have their own goodbyes and happy goodbyes. They have good salaries and they have solved a big problem. What I want is decent peace and health for myself, and for my child to be safe and healthy, to have a roof over their head so that they do not get carried away on rented rupees from their flats.
Più amore per l'ambiente
In 2040, the future will look more like a world where caring for the environment and animals is more valuable. Less pollution and zeroing out intensive livestock farms, the start of cultured meat marked a huge step forward for us and all living things. A change on a global level that incorporates love and hope for a better future is what I hope for and want strongly
Verbesserung der Lebensqualität durch den Einsatz von KI
The year 2040 is characterized by technological progress. The development of artificial intelligence in particular has had a far-reaching impact on society over the last two decades. Routine tasks and complex issues are largely processed and solved by AI. People's basic needs can be met efficiently and cost-effectively. The quality of life has risen sharply through the use of AI, because people have a better work-life balance and benefit from an increasing workload reduction.
Οι ανθρώπινη Ευρώπη του Αύριο
I want Europe in 2050 to be really strong. To be the third largest power in the world, fighting for democracy and the rights of peoples, without fear of threats of tariffs or other economic measures. I would like Europe to have managed to bring prosperity to all its territories and for children in Moldova not to walk miles on dirt roads in the rain and have their books in a supermarket bag. I would like Europe to become a lever of care so that there are no more homeless, hungry and helpless citizens. A Europe for Man and Democracy !
Το αβέβαιο μέλλον
2040 assuming that a 3rd world war hasn't started.Energy reserves have already diminished enough, so we have to find more so that the world can live.The climate has certainly changed and hopefully we will have water.Also earthquakes and major disasters are not final.Health care is affordable enough and there are not so many social inequalities.Artificial intelligence is controllable.
Unknown
I don't think it will be that different from our current life. Yes, some things will have changed but not very much. Some errors perhaps, might be resolved or get better. Such as healthcare, education and technology will hopefully progress and keep getting better and better. There might be a raised awareness of public mental health and better employment options for young people.
Food waste will be no more
Food waste would be at an all time low. Businesses have accepted the fact that their waste is increasing our landfill and have agreed to di something about it. They give their waste away to those who need it. They give their fresh produce that can not be given to families to a company that can convert this to fuel which will help with CO2 emmissions at the same time
Smart future
The health sector now has such advanced diagnostics and treatment methods that the average life expectancy is increasing, people are living healthier lives and diseases can be detected and treated at an early stage.
The rise of self-driving cars will make transport safer.
With the rise of AI, these processes can be accelerated and information technology is advancing at an astonishing rate.
Európai Egyesült Államok
In 2040, the current European countries will be called the United States of Europe. It will be governed by a secretly elected parliament based on proportional representation, which will also control the common government. There will be freedom of speech, democracy, diversity, multilingualism and a prosperous and efficient economy. A green transition is taking place, using only renewable energy. Clean air, blue rivers and lakes.
Spiritualni razvoj/shvaćanje
In 2040 we will be in the Golden Age of humanity. The whole planet Earth is in harmony with human beings, no matter the country, religion, politics, economic disunity, and people globally live lives of harmony, understanding, harmony and love with all other people and living beings on Earth, outside of it, and on the galactic plane with other types of beings from other planets (and dimensions).
Technological and spiritual development are in line with humanity and we are at a very high level. People have discovered how we can, with our own thoughts, and with the help of science and highly developed technology, eliminate all the pain that is no longer there, how to renew and regenerate the station, which allows us to live as long as we want and to live the life we want.
