Creative production

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.

2040
As we entered 2025, I wasn't particularly optimistic about the state of the planet. We faced huge challenges with climate change, plastic pollution & biodiversity loss and species extinction. Despite the challenges, we managed to get a plastics treaty adopted where it was decided to reduce the production of new plastic. The negotiations were tough and the big oil companies were very much against it, but pressure from grassroots groups ensured that the treaty was adopted. Today, we use many more natural and more recyclable materials. Plastic is no longer the norm that we throw away after use. The agreement on plastics was the start of the push to reduce the use of fossil fuels. Many cities pushed for better living conditions and after a few years, several major countries began to make more constructive proposals to reduce greenhouse gases. Air quality in major cities has improved and this has helped to reduce the number of people falling ill with respiratory infections in cities. We still have a big task in cleaning up plastic pollution. Nature must also continue to have time to recover after so many years in decline. We have slowed down the emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, but the effects are not yet so clear. However, I am pleased that we are on the right track.

Ekologija
I envision a 2040s where energy is completely clean and accessible to all. The world has moved towards sustainable energy sources - solar, wind, nuclear fusion - and cities and villages have energy autonomy. What does this look like? - Homes and buildings are equipped with advanced solar panels and local hydrogen fuel cells. Each building generates its own energy, so electricity grids have become decentralised. - Transport is fully electric and runs on renewable energy. There are no noisy engines on the streets and no exhaust fumes. - Industry and agriculture use circular economy principles -

Spokój duszy i ciała
The world is full of peace and is not rushing at the same pace as before. A 4-day work week is introduced to have more time for oneself, family or friends. People are less stressed and consequently happier. Everyone can afford a little luxury and salaries are not as varied as they are now.

Europa unita
United Europe. I would like there not to be so many armies with so many individual state expenditures but one European army. Also I would like to eliminate the duplication of law enforcement agencies that continually get in the way by having for the Italian state a duplication in commanders etc. A European salary system and not of each state. In short if we are Europe we must have common intentions, otherwise we dissolve Everything.
