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.

By 2040 I will probably not be there anymore, but this does not mean that I want the best for my children and grandchildren, which is why I hope that everyone, both large and small, poor or rich, will (begin to) take their responsibility. No one knows what awaits our grandchildren, no one can look into the future, no one can predict it, let alone for 20 years or more. That is why it is crucial that we now commit ourselves in all areas to save our nature, think of harmful substances from factories, ed, the very polluting aircraft and cargo transport, the ships not excepted, the missiles that they send to space to do so-called for investigations, no this is also commercially by the great empires, it is not the animals that burden and damage the environment, man is the great culprit, without humans no pollution

Een dag in 2040: De Nieuwe Renaissance van Europa
The sun rises above a futuristic Amsterdam, where floating trains silently shoot past the glass facades of energy-neutral buildings. I get out of my autonomous taxi, which navigates effortlessly through the car-free center. The air is cleaner than ever, thanks to the radical shift to carbon-negative cities in the 2030s. On the way to work, I greet a colleague who lives in Spain—his holographic presence next to me feels lifelike. Thanks to quantum computers and decentralized AI, we work together limitlessly, while universal basic income stimulates our creative innovation. During lunch I walk through a vertical park, a living tower full of trees and vegetable gardens. Food waste is a thing of the past, since the regenerative agricultural revolution of 2040. In the evening, I visit an exhibition on the history of the transition: how pandemics, climate crises and energy shortages forced us to cooperate. We learned from the past. 2040 is not a utopia, but the result of conscious choices – made by people who dared to dream and act.

I would especially like a peaceful life without war and unrest, full of family well-being and happiness. More safety and pleasant people in the world. I wish for a world without animal abuse, addiction and violence. From a technological point of view, I can't imagine where else things could go, but I'd love to watch it. Sometimes less is more and you have to focus on the important things.

To me, in 15 years
2040, everything has changed. Information is now available and accessible for everyone, no matter where you live. Education is no longer a privilege. The weather has calmed down and everyone has diverse technologies to his disposal. Communication with the rest of the world is easier than ever before and the cars, they are flying now, I love that part. But most of all, humanity has (hopefully) found a way to ensure one of the most important aspects of life on earth: peace.
