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.

Gemeinschaftsbewirtschaftung
In a small village where there are about 1000 inhabitants, community management projects would be of enormous benefit. You buy a field together, sit down with the co-owners and discuss who takes over which tasks. Thus, for example, organic vegetables can be planted. If vegetables are left over, it could be given away to needy families and there would be no waste and the community among the people would also work better 😁

Un futuro ideal: sostenible para todos y todas
Currently, in 2040, all available energy in the world is collected through renewable systems (photovoltaic, maritime, wind, geothermal) with low impact for humanity and having reduced C02 emissions to the point of absorbing carbon dioxide, pumping it into the earth and generating construction material (as they already do in a plant in Selfoss, Iceland). There are no wars in the world and humanity coexists to carry out the planet, barely consuming animal products, only milk or eggs, which everyone can obtain through their own production as pets or small-scale, local producers, who take care of these animals, without harming or overexploiting them and giving them a full and happy life, without sacrificing them to feed themselves. People are vegetarian or vegan and live happily with their animals. The working hours are much shorter (4 or 5 hours a day, from Monday to Thursday) and there is a base salary for everyone (who wants to earn an extra by working something else, it is optional). A happy and equal life for all. Countries and territories are self-sufficient and have a full and dignified life.

Future of Transport in Ireland
In the year 2050, Dublin's streets buzzed not with honking cars, but the gentle hum of electric pods gliding on invisible tracks. Ireland had become a leader in sustainable transport, thanks to a revolutionary hyperloop network connecting cities in minutes. Maeve, a young engineer, boarded a solar-powered airship to visit her grandmother in Cork. The journey took less than an hour, soaring over lush landscapes rejuvenated by green energy initiatives. Onboard, holographic displays offered immersive storytelling about Ireland's rich history. In the countryside, automated buses without drivers wound through villages, ensuring even the most remote areas stayed connected. Bicycle highways allowed riders to pedal effortlessly with wind-powered assistance. Every aspect of travel was designed to be eco-friendly and efficient. As Maeve disembarked, she marveled at the harmony between technology and nature, dreaming of the innovations yet to come. Ireland's future of transport was not just advanced, but visionary.

Utopia
In 2040 we can wake up free to be what we want, without having to submit to social schemes and moral obligations imposed by history, gender or the labor market. In 2040 I will be able to wake up knowing that I have a peaceful future, of equality, where no one will look at me anymore and judge me based on the work I do, the aspirations I have, a piercing, my tattoos or the clothes I wear.
