The history of the future between 2025 and 2050 is an exciting subject full of possibilities. Here is a possible story of the future, divided into three scenarios:

Scenario 1: A technology-driven world (2025-2035)

Technology advances by leaps and bounds, transforming everyday life. Artificial intelligence (AI) is integrated into everything from custom virtual assistants to autonomous driving systems. Virtual and augmented reality (VR/RA) revolutionize the way we work, entertain and relate.

In this scenario, cities become smarter and more sustainable, thanks to sensors and data that optimize traffic, energy consumption and resource management. Medicine experiences significant advances, with more accurate diagnoses and personalized treatments based on each individual's genetic information.

Scenario 2: A World in Transformation (2035-2045)

Technological advances continue, but new challenges also arise. AI-driven automation raises concerns about job losses and economic inequality. Climate change is accelerating, with more frequent and intense extreme weather events.

In this scenario, society faces difficult decisions on how to regulate technology and address environmental problems. Ethical issues related to AI, privacy and genetic manipulation are discussed. International cooperation becomes essential to find global solutions to common challenges.

Scenario 3: A World in Balance (2045-2050)

Humanity manages to overcome the challenges of the previous scenario. International agreements are established to combat climate change and promote sustainable development. Technology is used responsibly, seeking human well-being and environmental protection.

In this scenario, AI becomes a powerful tool for solving complex problems, such as curing diseases and producing clean energy. Society focuses on values such as solidarity, justice and sustainability. Humanity has learned to live in harmony with technology and with the planet.

Additional considerations:

It is important to note that this is only a possible history of the future. The real future will depend on many factors, including the decisions we make today. Technology will continue to advance, but its impact will depend on how we use it.

In addition, it is essential to remember that the future is not predetermined. We have the capacity to build the future we want, a more just, sustainable and prosperous future for all.

I hope that this story of the future has been interesting to you and invites you to reflect on the role we want to play in building our collective future.

What a relief we have left behind in the 1920s with all that succession of intertwined crises that seemed impossible to resolve! What a relief that we no longer have to think about whether democracy is in danger or live in the permanent uncertainty of whether there will be a reactionary retreat from everything that cost us so much to win! Just as we were finally aware of the physical limits of the planet and the doughnut economy succeeded capitalism, we were also aware of the limits of our democracies with mass debates that prevented (at last!) cruel authoritarian demagogues who did not believe in the values of democracy from seizing power again. I don't know how we could live with this permanent anguish... . No more gerontocracies, no more idycracies, no more techno-auritarism, no more perpetuation in power. AI is no longer a private business of billionaires who (finally!) were forced to distribute 90% of their fortune, as had already happened in the 50s of the last century. It has put itself only at the service of solving the great problems of the world. What a relief too that money no longer moves the world! All this was possible because the Constitution of the Land of Ferrajoli was approved and launched in 2030, the Magna Carta that protected all our global problems. The nature of which we are a part and without which we cannot live is especially protected. The Constitution provides a framework for everything to be solved diplomatically. Since its approval, the wars have ended and the genocidal people of the past have been severely judged. Yesterday we celebrated the feast of #Nevermore. If I have to describe what life is like now, the word that comes out is calm. Without constant threats to our safety and well-being, day-to-day life is placid.

A world of citizens

Strenghtened EU-level, even global, governance mechanisms. Human-centered technology Limits to accumulation and consumption, especially for the super rich Vibrant ecosystem for new businesses Private initiative, public Administrations, and non-profits working side by side on big societal and environmental issues A post-growth economy based on sufficiency High quality of democracy High citizen participation

Global warming under control Several actions taken - by local communities, governments globally, schools and universities, corporations and myself and my colleagues - have determined the change in the global warming landscape for the better. The actions are implemented and mapped and are maintained in periodic execution according to plan. Floods, storms, landslides, excess rain and drought minimized monitored and minimized.

I care about our quality of life. I believe that we have drifted away from our human nature and consequently from nature/environment, which - let us not forget - we are its species. This of course has an impact on many things and first of all on health. I would like to see human-centred policies implemented in all aspects of everyday citizenship. To put people, their mental health, their personal progress and flourishing first. To pay attention to how satisfied (and why not, happy) people feel about their lives. What really matters to them?
