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.

Sicherheit und Erziehung
I would like the migrants to accept us as we are. I have nothing against them living out their culture in return for them accepting ours. Criminals should finally be punished appropriately so that we can walk the streets as freely as we did a few years ago. Parents should not question every sentence but educate their children so that they can behave themselves and not ask the child what is right. I have to say that I love children, but their behavior leaves a lot to be desired.

Echte Demokratie, kein Gelaber
My wish for 2040 is that we will no longer be bossed around by such nobodies and whistles in Brussels or in national governments. Politics in the EU is increasingly degenerating into lobbyism and a self-service store. More direct democracy and not just a pretense of democracy. Security in the EU should be protected by external borders.

Bleak future
Sadly all of humanities efforts to battle climate change went unnoticed. The constant wars and new biologically engineered diseases wreacked havoc both on the economy and the environment. The global population started declining and the wealth inequality grew uncontrolled. Now only 0.01% of the population controlled all the resources and everyone else was considered slave labor. Some revolutions were instigated but sadly all of them failed due to the slaves fighting the technologically advanced weaponry of the elites with sticks.

Selvforsynende og bedre behandling
We are smarter in 2040. After the corona crisis in 2019, we realized how important it was to be self-sufficient. So now, in 2040, agriculture has started to sprout up again around Denmark, a number of taxes have been removed to make it easier for farmers to sell their produce, and even restaurants have started to have their own kitchen gardens. And the healthcare sector has improved, not that taxes have gone up, on the contrary, but focus has been placed on ensuring that doctors' offices and hospitals have highly trained staff who actually treat patients, i.e. investigate what might be wrong with the patient, rather than just throwing panodils at them and hoping that the patient's problems go away. Because it really lagged in 2024-2025.
