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.

Die digitale und Autome Zukunft

The wars of 2022-2025 have fortunately come to an end and the economic stability of all countries affected has increased again. We are feeling the effects of digitalization and artificial intelligence everywhere. Proper medical treatment is only available in urgent cases, everything else is carried out via webcam, food deliveries are no longer delivered by people but by drones. A cab ride is autonomous without a driver. Everything is paid for with a digital currency - there is very little cash left, as cash deposits and withdrawals incur a very high fee at the bank.

How i imagine it

In my future i see women having more rights, i see abortion being legal in all countries in EU. I see there’s no descrimination regarding genders. I see more women on high positions on jobs, i se equality of both genders. I wosh for there to be peace and no (or less) war. I also see people going to school, every child have a chance to go to school and get the education they want, i see more opportunities for young (and old) people to go to college and other higher schools.

Zukunftshorror

It's very difficult for me. I'm 65 now, then 80, and I'll probably have to live in a home because of my disability. I'll be looked after, fed, washed and played with by robots. My children will live in other cities and visit me in self-driving cars. We will mainly eat a meatless diet of insects, worms, larvae, etc. There will be small nuclear reactors everywhere. Houses will be built underground because of the heat or cold. There will still be wars because of raw materials

Življenje leta 2000.

I want us to live in peace, no wars. I want children to grow up without tick-tocks and other social networks. I want those responsible for the current situation regarding finances and everything bad in Slovenia to finally be fairly held to account by the competent authorities. I want every family to have a fresh piece of bread on the table every day, and not for some to live day in, day out, despite working 12 hours a day.
