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.

Cleansing flame
We’ll need to address changes coming due to climate change while making sure economy and by extension our societies also adapt in a sustainable way. We need to allow nature to heal and regrow as much as possible for the ecological chains to sustain themselves and humanity. It is going to be a difficult task as lit of these changes comes with a price and uncertainty, but education and long term thinking and decision making from those in power could make this happen. I’m not sure however that this can be done without sacrifices. I tend to think that humanity will only try to change its ways when it has no other choice as a whole, only after a lot of suffering and death. A cleansing flame of sorts. I wish this wasn’t true. But I fear it is.

Budućnost bez problema
In the future, I would like to see fewer hungry and poor people. I would like health care to be available to all equally, so that there is no excruciating pain. I would like us to be able to travel to whichever part of the globe we would like. So that people have a job that pays enough to live a normal life. I would like us to respect, support and vote more.

In 2040, they want to see a future where sustainable energy sources completely replace fossil fuels. Humanity has made significant progress in the fight against climate change, and the world's energy production is almost entirely based on renewable sources - solar, wind and hydro. Thanks to advances in energy storage technologies, electricity grids are stable and efficient. Cities are greener and more liveable: buildings are self-sustaining and transport is based on electric and autonomous vehicles. People are producing less waste because the circular economy principle is embedded in all industries. Within this future, education and technology are intertwined, allowing everyone to access the best knowledge materials. People are taking better care of each other and the planet because they recognise that sustainability is not just a choice, but a necessity.

I imagine a better future where everyone is accepted and feels safe. Financially everything will be fine, there will be more pay. Prices will go down. The environment will be taken care of and we will develop ways to keep the world cleaner. I think the livelihood financially should be basic and that in the future we will make it. The education system will change, because the situation of the students is not the best because they are overwhelmed with all kinds of things. Increasingly, everyone wants to leave their country at the moment and I hope this will not be the case in the future.
