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

Boldogság
I imagine a better future where everyone is accepted and feels safe. Financially everything will be fine, there will be more pay. Prices will go down. The environment will be taken care of and we will develop ways to keep the world cleaner. I think the livelihood financially should be basic and that in the future we will make it. The education system will change, because the situation of the students is not the best because they are overwhelmed with all kinds of things. Increasingly, everyone wants to leave their country at the moment and I hope this will not be the case in the future.
Oporavak Zemlje
Over a long period of years, the situation in the world has started to improve. It did not go quickly and smoothly. It took time, will and resistance to be as it is today. In the face of nature's great warnings to wake up and make the world a better place, we have decided to work. We have reduced the use of fossil fuels (almost sparking), limited the use of plastics, and realised how important it is to take care of waste. And, over the last 10 years, we have reduced our gas emissions, and we are stopping the earth from heating up by deforesting the forest. Nature is beginning to recover, there is less bad weather, the climate is returning to normal, and we are back to four seasons.

In 2040, they want to see a future where sustainable energy sources completely replace fossil fuels. Humanity has made significant progress in the fight against climate change, and the world's energy production is almost entirely based on renewable sources - solar, wind and hydro. Thanks to advances in energy storage technologies, electricity grids are stable and efficient.
Cities are greener and more liveable: buildings are self-sustaining and transport is based on electric and autonomous vehicles. People are producing less waste because the circular economy principle is embedded in all industries.
Within this future, education and technology are intertwined, allowing everyone to access the best knowledge materials. People are taking better care of each other and the planet because they recognise that sustainability is not just a choice, but a necessity.
Mesterséges intelligencia
What I want the future to be in 2040 is not necessarily what it is likely to be... Artificial intelligence will take over a lot from humans. Let's be happy until it wakes up ( if it hasn't already ). It might be useful in medicine.
The field of medicine is in dire need of change, the question is whether they are going in the right direction
Future health
A future I would like to see in 2040 is a healthcare system based on preventive medicine and personalised care through biotechnology and artificial intelligence.
What would that future look like?
1. Biosensors and biofeedback in everyday life
People will wear micro-devices or implantable sensors that will continuously monitor their health, detecting potential problems in time.
These devices will work with AI systems for data analysis and proactive interventions.
2. Personalised treatment
Instead of generic protocols, medicine will be tailored to the genetic profile and lifestyle of each individual.
Medicines and treatments will be more targeted, reducing side effects and increasing effectiveness.
3. Digital health and access from everywhere
Medical visits will be made mainly through advanced telemedicine systems, with doctors and AI working together.
Healthcare will be accessible to everyone, regardless of location or economic status.
4. Education and awareness through biofeedback
People will be trained to understand and regulate their biological functions through techniques such as neurofeedback.
Mental health will be on a par with physical health and there will be sophisticated tools to manage stress and emotions.
This future would allow people to live healthier and higher quality lives, reducing illness and increasing their health autonomy.
Budućnost bez problema
In the future, I would like to see fewer hungry and poor people. I would like health care to be available to all equally, so that there is no excruciating pain. I would like us to be able to travel to whichever part of the globe we would like. So that people have a job that pays enough to live a normal life. I would like us to respect, support and vote more.
A fejlődés záloga
In education, all children receive an education that is appropriate to their abilities, regardless of their background or financial situation. Their abilities are developed, not suppressed. Filler subjects are eliminated. Empowerment of the next generation is taking place, not dumbing down, in order to keep the incumbent in power. The future lies in smart people.
Τεχνητή νοημοσύνη και μελλον
I would like the world to evolve better! Artificial intelligence should be put at the service of man, for the good of humanity! The sciences and especially medicine to evolve a lot, through artificial intelligence! To find medicines for incurable diseases, to make living conditions better and to teach people to have more humanity!!!
Machines to work positively in short...people to find more time for recreation and mental improvement!
Cleansing flame
We’ll need to address changes coming due to climate change while making sure economy and by extension our societies also adapt in a sustainable way. We need to allow nature to heal and regrow as much as possible for the ecological chains to sustain themselves and humanity. It is going to be a difficult task as lit of these changes comes with a price and uncertainty, but education and long term thinking and decision making from those in power could make this happen. I’m not sure however that this can be done without sacrifices. I tend to think that humanity will only try to change its ways when it has no other choice as a whole, only after a lot of suffering and death. A cleansing flame of sorts. I wish this wasn’t true. But I fear it is.
Natjecaj za posao predsjednika
The world leaders have managed to sign a global agreement on a new world peace.the race is becoming a matter of pleading and is considered to be the most serious form of primitivism.in order to ensure this, the future candidates for the presidency must undergo rigorous psychological tests to avoid the appearance of aggressive psychopaths in the country.
Baljós árnyak
Summer started in February. Heat waves are as common as rain used to be, although the latter is now only known from legend. People check their air filters in the morning before going outside, and small battles rage for shady spots. The beaches used to be sand, now they're just barren earth with a mutant palm tree or two trying to survive. The birds have moved south - even further south, where there may still be something worth reaching. Drones hovering over the cities warn: don't stay in the sun too long.
There are still those trying to adapt. They grow rooftop gardens, paint shade on the roads. People have learned to smile in the heat. But when we close our eyes at night, we all know: the world used to be greener.
