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.

Sapnis par Latviju
The year 2040 is not so distant in the future, in the meantime even this year the born child will not have reached the age of majority. And as you know, children grow up fast and years fly away like birds, see, already 2040. There is no more war in the world, people live in peace and do everything to improve their living conditions, do nothing to the detriment of the environment, are empathetic, helpful to each other, and most of the time life takes place without unnecessary worries. I go to a cafe, a local shop or somewhere else and I am addressed by a smiling and welcoming staff. There is no longer a trace of what it was at the beginning of 2000, when too often I saw acidic and stiff faces, and I always compared why people in England, Spain, Italy, etc. smile and are better. We are no longer shy to say to everyone that we are from Latvia, and there is no more division of people into Latvians and non-Latvians, because everyone speaks Latvian and develops local culture, because we are all citizens of Latvia with one goal to make their lives better!

2040 no futur
January 1, 2040 How will this new year be better or worse than the previous ones? And it may be worse between human stupidity, these new epidemics, these wars. Will we and our descendants one day live in a better world not idyllic but just better??? I actually think that people will be more selfish in a society of fear, which is why we need to restore more justice, our borders. Europe has been a beautiful utopia Will there exist in 2040 great men of great women as we knew in the 20th century, century of the lights Our adventurers will be astronauts willing to sacrifice their lives for a distant destination. Is that what man deserves?

Rauhan ja vapaus
The most important thing is to have peace in Europe. Each country would live independently and independence would be respected by others. Democratic elections. One country would not be able to torpedo joint decisions, so democracy would prevail in the EU as well. Geographical differences would be better taken into account, e.g. when allocating grants. Unnecessary administration should be able to be eliminated and decisions made more quickly to become legally valid at both EU and Finnish state level.

Utopia - Das gab's schon mal
In 2040, the world community will have learned from its mistakes and people will treat each other in solidarity. Goods, such as water and food, are distributed evenly, so that there will be no more hunger. This requires an organization such as the UN to carry out these tasks. Education will be free and supported by reputable AI programs. Cultural and socio-cultural differences should be preserved, but not lead to divisions. Should conflicts arise, they will be resolved unbureaucratically by competent representatives of the respective parties. Fortunately, environmental protection is no longer an issue because innovative inventions secure the energy supply of the world community.
