Creative production

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

Operational by 2040. The evolution of VR, AR and 4D printing technologies and the significant reduction in their costs are paving the way for the creation of new generation ecocrafts. The creative industry at home is flourishing. Millions of projects to create objects – from customised and customised everyday equipment to immersive works of art – are ongoing in the homes of individuals or groups of people. The objects produced are sold through new-generation marketplaces, while the consumer can intervene in their production and configure them even during the creation phase, through a process of dynamic interaction with the product and the manufacturer’s digital assistant: an AI algorithm capable of assessing and managing new requests and learning alone about the specificities of potential buyers. These projects generate new income, while low production costs allow more people to access the production process. At the same time, the fact that production is spread across many different locations allows the supply of products and services within a very short radius from the consumer’s home, which reduces the cost and environmental footprint of transport. At the same time, new forms of art are being created, with works that interact with the viewer and are transformed, and a new code of ethics is being established to protect users of immersive environments from the possibility of universal immersion in virtual worlds.

Aufschwung
In 2040, the world has become a true democracy. Politicians no longer operate in elitist bubbles, but are able to grasp and implement the true needs of the population. Decisions are based on transparency and direct participation - every vote counts, regardless of social status. Security has noticeably increased: crime is effectively combated through preventive measures such as education, social integration and intelligent surveillance systems, without sacrificing privacy. Prosperity is no longer a privilege of the few; through sustainable economic activity, fair tax systems and global trade networks, broad sections of the population enjoy access to education, health and modern technologies. A balanced energy and circular economy have increased the quality of life, while social inequalities have been reduced. 2040 stands for a society that not only promises democracy, security and prosperity, but lives it - a model that unites and advances humanity.

Projection en 2040
The year is 2040. We need to think positively about our children and grandchildren. How they'll live in either serene or turbulent times. I'd like the future to be full of peace, less anxiety. Serenity compared to what we're feeling right now. I imagine that in 2040 there will be more peace, less anxiety, nature respected and offering a serene future. Technologies are evolving so fast that our children's adaptation will be rapid and will advance the way we live and depend on them more and more. My dearest wish is that life will be easier, calmer and more welcoming, with a great deal of respect.

Demokratisierung der EU
The European Union is economically stronger. Democracy has finally prevailed, the EU Parliament, the EU Commissioners and the EU President are now directly elected by the EU population and are no longer decided in backrooms. The EU bureaucracy has been reduced to 25% and is no longer allowed to impose bans or restrictions on the basis of an EU constitution. The EU has become more liberal and the individual states are once again sovereign.

The way we work will change. Teleworking in the roaring years gave an impetus to the fact that work no longer requires a physical presence in the office for all jobs.By 2040, work will be done four days a week. This will allow for a greater degree of disengagement from work for time off. Nature and being close to nature will become an important part of people's well-being. Our environment will demand greater attention as a result of climate change. We work with respect for nature. We will return closer to nature. Local food, local tourism, work will also be done nearby, the need to travel will be reduced.
