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.

A Sustainable and Equitable Future
In 2040, I envision a world where clean energy powers our cities, climate change is under control, and economic opportunities are accessible to all. Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and fusion have replaced fossil fuels, drastically reducing carbon emissions. Advanced technology helps us efficiently store and distribute energy, ensuring that no community is left behind. Social systems prioritize well-being over mere economic growth, with universal healthcare, equitable education, and AI-driven automation that enhances human potential rather than replacing jobs. Cities are greener, with smart infrastructure, clean transportation, and abundant green spaces that improve quality of life. This future isn’t just about technology; it’s about values—cooperation, sustainability, and fairness. It’s a world where progress benefits everyone, not just a few.

Me gustaría...
I would like the future to be better than it is today for my children. Let politicians stop stealing, stop teasing us, stop doing what they want for their own benefit. I would like immigration to continue to exist, but not as it is now. Let there be no illegals, let those who steal, rape and kill be immediately deported to their countries. Let the ores be taken with their parents, which is where they are best. That more is invested in education, in health, in work, in basic social services. Let there be no impunity for the occupiers, let there be help for the owners. I would like that housing does not become a super luxury item, that it is accessible, that young people do not have it as complicated as now. I would like young people to have the freedom, the rights and the duties that we had when we were, that values are taught again, that the streets are filled with children playing again. I'd like to...

A Sustainable Future: Life in 2040
In 2040, I envision a world that has fully embraced sustainable living. The air is cleaner, cities are greener, and communities are more connected. The most significant change is in our approach to energy consumption and environmental conservation. Renewable energy sources like solar and wind power dominate the energy sector. Buildings are designed with energy efficiency in mind, featuring solar panels, green roofs, and vertical gardens. Urban farming provides fresh produce locally, reducing the carbon footprint associated with transportation. Transportation has transformed dramatically. Electric public transit systems powered by renewable energy have decreased emissions and noise pollution. Personal electric vehicles are widespread, and a cultural shift towards walking, cycling, and shared mobility has improved public health and reduced traffic congestion. Education emphasizes environmental stewardship from a young age. Students engage in community projects that foster a deep understanding of sustainability and their role in protecting the planet. Communities are more self-sufficient through localized microgrids and effective waste management systems. Recycling programs and the use of biodegradable materials have minimized landfill use. Technological advancements have helped restore natural ecosystems. Reforestation and ocean clean-up efforts have revived biodiversity, and urban areas are rich with green spaces for recreation and relaxation. This sustainable future not only benefits the environment but also boosts the economy, creating jobs in renewable energy and green technologies. There is a shared commitment to preserving the planet for future generations, demonstrating the positive impact of collective action toward sustainability. This is the future I hope to see—where sustainable living is the norm, leading to healthier communities and a thriving planet.

Europa vertebrada
I would like to see a Europe with cultural, tourist, economic and mobility laxities, where many services were coordinated between all countries. A very simple bureaucracy thanks to AI, where the awareness of being European was something prestigious and not a slab, where you had a European dni that complements or replaces the national
