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.

Μια Μέρα στην Ευρώπη του 2040
The sun rose over New Athens, a city where buildings breathe, streets adapt to traffic and travel quietly with autonomous electric vehicles. The day started with a notification on my biometric watch: Your personal energy consumption is below the monthly average! Keep it up like that! In 2030, Europe completely abandoned fossil fuels, with each city producing its own clean energy through solar and wind farms. In 2035, universal basic income was implemented, ensuring that no citizen is deprived of basic goods. In 2038, artificial intelligence became part of everyday life, helping with education, health and work, leaving people more time for creativity. As I walked towards the park, the vertical gardens cleared the air and absorbed the noise of the city. My friend, Anna, connected through augmented reality and we discussed Europe's new space programme. 2040 is not perfect, but it is a future we built together – a future worth living for.

Mijn wensen voor de periode 2025-2050.
I would like the problems we are currently struggling with to be addressed: the environment , climate and energy sources to heat that would make our lives healthier. I would like to see more green: forest, trees that are planted, in each city mandatory a percentage of green.IK would like a solution for packaging that is fully recyclable: This way, no more packaging is added: reusable boxes, with deposit if necessary.I would also like to have a healthy substitute for sulphites , dyes,perfumes that are allergy-free . No chemical additives to detergents, soap, creams and ointment, body lotion (all without sodium lauryl sulfate), also all available toothpastes. I would not want more gas, but more natural sources for heating. Incineration of green waste or other things should be banned.Energy sources such as solar panels, windmills should become the norm.Also, I would like to see more supermarkets selling local, organic products. All fruits and vegetables would be grown in their own country and organic (so not sprayed with pesticides). I would also like a solution for batteries: something without harmful acids in it.

En tid med flere penge og færre tossede regler…
The time was a time when Europe discovered that there were too many politically crazy rules that cost the entire population of Europe far too much money and precious time. In the years 2025 to 2040 there were positive changes, so now there is a simpler legislation, so now all the crazy taxes and foolish fees can be lowered, so now the population of the whole EU lives more confidently in a good climate of mutual trust, where politicians actually help their voters. Voters could get good education that had staff who cared about teaching and helping their students and not a systemic hell with too many rules and limitations

Το πράσινο μέλλον
The future in 2040 would have been much greener. Every neighborhood and park every sidewalk has trees. I'd like kids not to keep their cell phones all the time but to walk in nature in the fields on the trails. I would like the smog to be reduced, the exhaust gas to be reduced and life to have more quality than now.
