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.

By 2040, I'll be almost 80 years old. It follows, of course, that I hope that elderly care will then be at a high level ….I want my children to be healthy and happy and not have a difficult life. World peace would be a great bonus, but I'm afraid that's an illusion. What did not succeed in 2000 years is …..Harmony is perhaps a better word. Solutions have been devised for a better environment and a fairer distribution of wealth would also be very pleasant. In my ideal future, cell phones would take on a smaller role. Genuine communication between people makes a big difference.

Yhdessä luotu parempi tulevaisuus
By 2040, my world will be full of sustainable and humane technology. I have always dreamed that every person could live without threats to the environment or health, so I would like to see a Europe where climate change has been overcome and well-being is for everyone. In cities, green roofs and vertical gardens produce food locally and there is no more food waste – AI accurately predicts needs. Our energy comes only from renewable sources, and the seas are clean again. People move seamlessly on electric, shared-ownership vehicles, and there is no traffic pollution. Healthcare has evolved so that diseases are effectively prevented, and everyone receives personalised care without waiting in line. Mental health is seen as important as physical health, and society supports everyone's well-being. The future in which technology and nature live in harmony is not a dream – it is a choice we made together.

Future. This is a story set there. There are trees with all fruits, flying machines, and artificial intelligence dominates the world. People have been replaced in part by robots, and the efficiency of the world has improved dramatically. For a better world wait until 2040 to have all this. Or is all this just science fiction? Who knows. We will only find out by living.

This morning I am already riding my electric bike to the nearest drone port. For an attractive price, you can fly an electric drone to a shopping city along a fixed and safe route. This avoids traffic jams and you can go from there to various other locations by electric public transportation. Reservations can be made in advance using an app.
