Aprillikuu hommik

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

It's already a warm April morning in 2050 and I'm getting ready to go to work. "Please show us today's weather on your way to work," I say to my interactive wall, and with the sound of a horn, Konrad Mägi's spring views are replaced by a detailed weather report, which shows that a louder wind can blow between the houses just before the work place. I put on my spring jacket and walk outside. Although the automatic electric buses drive quite from my door to work and I can even get faster self-driving taxis, I decide to enjoy the beautiful weather and walk to work. During my walk, I wonder whether to start with a group work or a discussion – although we already have enough time to be awake, do Portuguese students, who are two hours behind us, bother to actively contribute to group work in a virtual studio so early? I have fun on my own, because in fact I know that once a European University has been established, there is probably an interest and desire to make the most of university time.

Civilization has not collapsed—it has been restored.
In 2040, the world has returned to its roots. Families are strong again, with men as providers, earning fair wages for a four-hour workday—enough to support their loved ones comfortably. There is no more endless striving, no exhausting rat race. Life moves at a natural rhythm. Consumerism has been replaced by mindful living. People buy only what they need, and nothing is wasted. Food is grown by local communities, free from corporate control. Every family has a home, built with care, not mass-produced for profit. The sprawling, soulless cities of the past are gone, replaced by self-sufficient villages where neighbors know and support each other. With less work and more time, people reconnect—with nature, with tradition, with family. Children grow up with their mothers at home, learning real values. The world is simpler, freer, and more human. Civilization has not collapsed—it has been restored.

Europa di tutti
2040 is finally the year of true European unity: Russia and the former Soviet states have also joined the EU. To celebrate this milestone, every citizen has had a free train ticket to use to get to know one of the new countries. A way to appreciate the new citizens and to rediscover a slow and eco-sustainable tourism.

A healthier future. It will be possible to replace all sick human organs with artificial ones, even in the brain it will be possible to make certain adjustments. The age of people will be extended, people will be able to work much longer, and demographic problems will be solved. The number of people on earth will stop increasing, and we will eat mostly artificial food.

What I would like to see is a society in which everybody is living together and taking care of each other.It's no longer I but we. We take care of each other, the environment instead of the current life in which I is the most used word. We have taken a big economic downfall to reach it yet life is better, Life is harder yet more joyful. That's what I wish and hope for.
