A future where we work less, consume less and pollute less - Everything has one underlying crisis: the climate crisis

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I hope that the future has changed the consumption pattern of today's generation. This will result in less demand for consumer goods, fewer working hours for the individual worker, and thus more time for family, friends and hobbies. At the same time, it will result in less pollution of our planet.

I know that this also means a rebellion with the current division of labor and industry. Instead, I hope that the future will reward the social sector and social work better and also recognize all the work that takes place in the home - which is often done by women.

I hope that the future dares to act on the many danger signals that stand as flashpoints around the world. Whether it is wars, discrimination, injustice, undignified working conditions or psychological problems of young and old people. Everything has one underlying crisis: the climate crisis. It must be acted upon based on various measures, where the world's decision-makers must dare to act. I hope that will have happened in 2040.

Roheline kodu.
I still imagine the future as green. We have more forest. Rivers, lakes, lands will be clean thanks to the invention of tools to clean up polluted environments. People have discovered the charms of nature and moved more to the countryside for more privacy. But if you want to go to the city to enjoy culture, for example, you can have your ID card in a flying form and be home in no time. Self-propelled, of course. Wherever you want to go, it takes no time at all. Nature has taught people to listen again and to communicate with each other. There would be peace in the world.

Kas saab veel edasi areneda?
Tehnoloogia on nii palju arenenud, et inimesed ei peagi tööl käima. Tehisaru teeb kõik meie eest ära, elu on lihtsam võibolla liiga lihtne ja inimestel hakkavad tekkima pseudoprobleemid. Inimesi on maailmas liiga palju ja maakeral ressursse pole piiramatult et normaalselt elada. Paljud rikkad inimesed käivad ajaviiteks marsil.Tehnoloogia areneb nii palju et inimesed unustavad suhtlemise omavahel ja on rohkem üksikud ja seetõttu inimesi jaab vähemaks kokkuvõttes.Inimesed on rohkem haritud ja ei elata üle oma võimete. Ideaalis inimesed hakkavad linnast väljas elama ja kasvatavad ise endale söögi.

Utopia
Un futuro migliore, sarà difficile, troppi contrasti. Per essere migliore, vorrei meno egoismi e meno sete di potere. Meno migrazioni incontrollate che portano a dissidi per le culture diverse. Per far questo dovremmo rendere tutte le zone del mondo vivibili, aiutando tutti i popoli a rendere abitabile i luoghi nativi, senza sfruttarli.

Évolution de la médecine
Dans l’Europe du futur, la grande majorité des cancers pourra être traité par les médecins et les personnes malades auront une quasi certitude de vaincre la maladie et de survivre à celle-ci. La médecine aura grandement évolué, notamment en PMA ou les chances d’avoir un enfant auront grandement augmenté.
