The morning dawned with sunlight breaking through the glass dome that surrounded the Eco-City. I woke up in my zero-energy apartment and watched the drones go to work maintaining the city's gardens. The window of my room looked out onto vertical greenhouses growing fresh fruit and vegetables right in the centre of the city, providing healthy food for the residents.

After breakfast, I went to my job at the European Innovation Centre. My route took me through green parks. In the afternoon, I attended the opening of an exhibition showcasing the latest technologies to help combat climate change. I was proud that my team had developed a new energy storage solution that made solar and wind energy even more efficient.

The evening came with a town festival where people gathered to enjoy local art, music and gastronomy. I stood under the starlit sky and was happy to live in a world where people have achieved a balance with nature and technology. The world is finally at peace and harmony between peoples.

Tempo per la famiglia
It's 2040. Today parents work only half a day, when their children are at school, and spend the rest of the day with them. They have finally acquired the right to form a family and to live it in balance with their work. Their children will enjoy the time that their parents were not allowed because of a wrong development pattern that has finally been erased.

Life is comfortable - children have reached upper secondary school age and live at home only on weekends. Quietly independent. It is good to look at the children's independence and remember the kma youth rush. Life has moved away from social media. Real communication is once again important because online life tends to remain in the background. Direct communication is valued and technology plays a routine role in our lives, doing data analytics and most of the ‘excel-based work’ for us. The creative part is our end to do
