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.

Demokratian ja rauhan utopia
In 2040, there is more peace and stability in the world than there is now. People understand each other better. There is disagreement, but disagreements are discussed more calmly and constructively, in pursuit of a common situational picture. Democracy is advancing; The totalitarian and populist tendencies have weakened. The international community has put in place sensible measures to combat climate change and biodiversity loss. Human rights have progressed favourably throughout the world. We've learned how to use virtual platforms in ways that don't tear but build. The power of technology giants has been limited.

Voy a ser abuelo
We are in the year 2040, in April I will turn 60 and I imagine facing my last professional years with a smile on my mouth, with a terrible desire to reach retirement age or already thinking about reducing my work activity to focus on enjoying life. My kids just made me grandpa and this is my biggest illusion now. I will enjoy my people, my friends and acquaintances, the close family and the new entertainment opportunities offered by new technologies. All kinds of experiences that, as always, are best enjoyed in the best company, that of yours, the family you have and the family you choose. My children have jobs that allow them to enjoy life and people more than we have, but we must make an effort so that we all coincide in special moments. We value physical contact very much and prefer this to do it through screens, although sometimes there is no other remedy. 2040 is presented with a relative world peace and we must take advantage of it, people try again to enjoy the moment, the small things, in the face of the flood of technology so necessary and at the same time so dehumanized.

Im Einklang miteinander leben
I cannot limit myself to a single topic. I think it is important that people live more with nature and not against it. It is only seen as disturbing, doing dirt and work. But she feeds us. Everyone just wants to have everything comfortable, just don't touch a finger. Gardening can be so relaxing and grounding. Likewise, people should live with other people and not against each other. No matter what color or religion you have. It's really sad. I hope so for the future. Then life is worth living again. Material things do nothing.
