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.

El Cáncer se cura
The world finally realizes the importance of healing. With an increase in aid and investments in research, in just a decade incredible advances are made in the cure and survival of the most harmful cancers. In addition, there is a chain reaction effect that makes advances in the cure of diseases increasingly important by increasing knowledge in gene therapies.

Lepší zítřky
In 2040, I'm 85 years old, I don't care much about the future anymore, because as I get older, I lose my strength. Everything around me is changing so fast that I can no longer handle new technologies and must be helped by my grandchildren or great-grandchildren if they find time for me. Fortunately, since 2025, no wars have arisen in my vicinity, humanity seems to have become wiser or lazy, and everyone is playing on their own sand. The dream of a great Europe has vanished, yet we are somewhat different and also have different historical experiences. The warming of the Earth has stopped, so the heat is no longer tiring. Since nature managed to recover, straightened watercourses returned to the original meanders, drenched meadows left at the mercy of mosquitoes and other vermin, life is better. I am glad that I lived through these times, even though my health and legs no longer serve me. I am delighted with my offspring who thrive and only hear of the old days when there was no freedom.

UTOPIA
In 2040 I would like a world less focused on career and money, where people have the time and pleasure of being with family and friends. I would like to see more inclusion, especially social inclusion. I would like a health care that works, where care is accessible to everyone and where there is no economic speculation whatsoever. I would like more education from everyone, especially towards the elderly, towards those who do not fit into stereotypes and towards the needy in general. I would like more sensitivity for animals and I would like to have so many resources to have a recovery center for abandoned or mistreated animals. I would like young people to rediscover the joy of being together even without technology. I would like a reality without wars and with a justice that works, so as to have greater social security.

Parem tänane
In 15 years, we could still live in a free Estonia. There would no longer be a full-scale war in Europe. The Estonian economy has grown steadily and the coping of Estonians has improved. Overall, it is also calmer around the world. The borders are still open and people can travel because the prices of air tickets are not very high. Human rights are valued.
