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.

Det hållbara Europa
The year is 2040 and Europe is a place where everyone feels safe and experiences a strong community. Social injustices have been reduced considerably and no one can be described as poor. Self-driving cars have increased and traffic accidents have decreased and approached the zero vision. The environment has become a priority and renewable energy is now the primary energy source.

It is the year 2040 and Europe has become a place where harmony between technology and nature is the norm. The day begins in a small coastal town in Spain, where the sun shines through smart windows that adjust the temperature of the home without the need for external energy. The houses are now built with recycled materials and each has a system that converts air into energy. Only 15 years ago, in 2025, the situation was alarming. The climate crisis and natural disasters threatened the survival of big cities. The transition to renewable energy was the turning point: Governments, businesses and citizens came together to reduce carbon emissions and restore the ecological balance. Today, the oceans are cleaner, and green areas in cities have multiplied. Agriculture is completely vertical and is carried out inside buildings, with systems that ensure that all food is local and sustainable. People travel across Europe on high-speed trains that traverse breathtaking landscapes, powered by solar and geothermal energy, with no carbon footprint. This future is the result of a collective effort to rebuild a more just and balanced world. Hopefully such a world in 15-25 years

Vaba Eesti. Parem elu maal ja linnas.
Without AI (artificial intelligence), the survival of people's jobs and lives and the freedom to think and speak freely about their thoughts and feelings will be affected. Return of rural life. The countryside is no longer in the 2040 destruction plan, all the windmills have been taken away. People on earth work like mud. Peaceful living in the city will return. Traffic noise is decreasing and there is no more such urbanisation. Desperate new development projects that only impress the concrete jungle will be completed in cities. Education is becoming more acceptable. There are more schools (not just high schools). There are more vocational schools and colleges in Estonia.

L'Europa del relax
I live in a detached house with garden in a city full of houses with garden and full of greenery. Everyone has to work for a few hours a day but with the universal income that is recognized to all Europeans no one has economic problems. People are so very relaxed and live in peace.
