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.

Framtidens Värld – Min Resa mot Framgång och Lycka
The year is 2040. I wake up in my modern, energy-efficient home, built with sustainable materials and smart technology. My life is just as I dreamed it would be – balanced, healthy and full of meaning. My body is stronger than ever. I have continued my training and kept myself in top shape, which makes me feel energetic every day. My physical activity is part of my lifestyle, and I inspire others by sharing my journey and my experiences. My career has developed in the best possible way. I have a professional role where I get to use my strength, stamina and knowledge to make a difference. At the same time, I have the flexibility to enjoy life, travel and socialize with loved ones. The community around me has also changed for the better. Technology and sustainability go hand in hand – clean energy drives cities, healthcare is more accessible and people live longer and happier lives. I am part of this change and I am proud of my contribution to a better future. In 2040, I'm not just living – I'm thriving. And the best? I know there is even more to achieve.

Droom toekomst
Everyone lives on their own piece of land and grows their own vegetables. Trade exists again, money and power no longer matter. People are happy with what they have. There is peace on earth and everyone is willing to help each other. All people laugh every day. Some enjoy staying on their own piece of land and others (including me) travel the world to gain more insights, experiences and share them with others. Work is no longer an obligation but an option. No one is in charge of another and we have won the battle against technology!

Önskedröm
More women rule the world's most powerful countries, which should lead to unrest being resolved through peaceful negotiations. At the national level, there are again simpler jobs that do not require higher education, which means that almost everyone can earn a living through work. In schools there is a return to peace and quiet where the teacher decides in the classroom. Mobile phones are banned during classes. More focus on culture, aesthetics and outdoor activities. Social media no longer exists. Children and young people are encouraged to engage in activities on their own and together with others.

I hope that in the next years there will be not only hate on the Internet what is now, children will kill themselves by hate I hope that it will change and it will be like it used to be. There were more transports. So people can find jobs.
