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.

In the future i would like there to be a lot of new opportunities that we don’t have in today’s life, I would love there to be more affordable housing and jobs that just about anyone can obtain. Because nowadays their are so many homeless people or just normal people who can’t afford the cost of living, which is incredibly sad. I just hope that thanks to God we can have all that we wish for in life if we actually put the effort in. I wish to be rich, not to be rich with just money, to be rich with love the love of God and the love of those that I love, also the money so I can give to people but also have nice things for my self the inflation right now is too much i hope the world will come to it’s senses, I really hope so.

Un futuro migliore nel 2040: una società più sostenibile ed equa
In 2040, Europe completed its transition to a more sustainable and fair society. One of the most significant changes concerns energy: Fossil fuels are now a thing of the past, replaced by renewable sources such as solar, wind and green hydrogen. Each building is equipped with smart solar panels and the energy networks are managed with advanced artificial intelligence systems to ensure efficiency and zero waste. Mobility is completely transformed: Cities are pedestrian and green, with electric and autonomous public transport reducing traffic and pollution. Work has also changed. Thanks to automation and digitalisation, the working week has been reduced to four days, allowing people to devote more time to their passions, family and lifelong learning. Education is free and accessible to all, with personalised programmes that help each individual develop their talent. Health, enhanced by advanced technologies, prevents diseases even before they occur, ensuring a quality of life never seen before. Finally, the policy is more participatory: important decisions are taken with the direct contribution of citizens through secure and transparent digital platforms. Cooperation between countries has made Europe a model of inclusion, social justice and innovation. This is the future I imagine for 2040: A world where progress and sustainability go hand in hand, creating a fairer, happier and more environmentally friendly society.

Gesundheit
I envision 2040 as a time when mental health is finally taken as seriously as physical health. In this better future, there are no more taboos or stigmas around mental illness. Everyone has access to professional help, whether they are rich or poor. Schools and workplaces attach great importance to mental health. In schools, there are regular courses on stress management, dealing with emotions and promoting well-being. Teachers and employers are trained to take care of the mental health of their students or employees. No one should be ashamed when they need help. Technology plays a major role in this future: There are smart apps that detect signs of stress or depression at an early stage and offer targeted support. At the same time, however, human contact remains important – therapy is accessible to everyone and there are many community projects that bring people together. I want a world where everyone understands that mental health is the basis for a happy and fulfilling life.

LA europa del futuro
I would like to see greener cities, with green architecture, renewable energy and clean and efficient public transport. Cities of the future could incorporate more vertical gardens, green roofs and advanced recycling systems, creating more natural and healthy urban environments. Imagine a Europe where moving from one country to another is easy, fast and sustainable, thanks to an efficient transport system combining trains, buses, electric planes and autonomous vehicles. There could be a focus on electric mobility and transport networks connecting even the most rural areas.
