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.

Probably in 2040 I will no longer be there but I hope for all those who will have a Europe of true peace, of true inclusion, of true sharing. More honesty, less violence, more well-being, more equality, more attention to the climate. A true union of all the countries that are part of it, united to improve the continent of Europe!

The EU is economically strengthened and consolidated. As regards military security, the EU has an army responsible for securing and defending the border (so-called professional army). Every EU citizen between the ages of 18 and 25 is obliged to work for 18 months, alternatively in the social sector.

The Europe of the future has emancipated itself from the USA and presents a self-confident and united front to the outside world. Nevertheless, the original European values will not be watered down, but will be resolutely defended against the world's major power blocs. A strong European Union with a strong military potential, but one that is used defensively. Internally, the governments of the individual European countries have learned that a united Europe is the only way to deal with the rest of the world, and the principle of unanimity has been abolished.

Hoop voor de toekomst
I will most likely not be around in 2050 but hope for my grandchildren that the current doomsday scenario will not come true but that they can live in a world of peace with clean air and nature. Hopefully by then Europe will not have turned into a caliphate or taken over by the Chinese. With any luck, the Russian government will have finally realized that aggression does not pay and common sense will prevail and they will also not have started a nuclear war that would lead to the destruction of the world. One has been able to successfully implement nuclear fusion by 2050 with limitless energy possibilities without nasty emissions and nuclear waste allowing us to get rid of all the landscape polluting windmills and solar farms and everything drives and runs on green hydrogen or electricity. In the fish can again swim unhindered in the North Sea. The tedious and dirty work will be performed by robots and everyone can enjoy their many free hours because the work week will be only 25 hours because of this robotization. People can also enjoy their children again because they will have enough time to keep them busy and no longer have to dump them in daycare. In fact, there will be plenty of time to do fun things and raise them into right-thinking new generations. How wonderful that would be or would it still be daydreaming?
