Elämme taas yhdessä

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

Technology and its evolution from the industrial revolution to artificial intelligence took us away from each other. But then something happened... People began to understand the importance of togetherness. We were so far away from each other that at first it felt a little strange. But there has always been some desire within us to be part of a community rather than just individual individuals. And this is where, at the end of the 2020 decade, the idea of living in communities began to spread. At first it was only a little visible, but already within a couple of years, people who were strangers to each other started talking instead of saying hi to each other and making real deep friendships.

And little by little, we also began to understand how the way we had used technology has taken us away from each other. We have lived in a virtual world of phones and other technologies. We had united the world, but forgotten its most important... So what's close to us. This led a large number of people to start using technology more as a tool than as the one that controls our behavior. It also consciously started practicing social behaviour in schools in the 2030s.

It is 2040...around me I see so many happy retirees , after so many years of work they can finally enjoy life because they retired at the "right age" ,they can do what they always wanted to do because they have the economic ability to do it, they can spend time with their grandchildren because their children have found a good job, what they studied for or , simply, what they like to do. Because, if grown-ups go to work until. 70 years old ..for young people there is no place ...

Eine grüne Zukunft
The most important thing is to protect and preserve the climate. It is essential that we do everything we can to save the climate. In 2040, this has already been achieved to a large extent. Once it was recognized that the climate catastrophe is life-threatening for everyone, measures were taken to counteract it. Sustainable drives, a sustainable economy and a greener world overall have been implemented to minimize the damage that already exists. Governments have realized that climate protection can only be enforced through bans on companies and have done so despite lobbying. Ordinary people have been given tax relief in other areas so that they have not been hit by the concentrated force of financing environmental protection measures. The inner cities are almost car-free, people can get around easily by bike or on foot and relax because they no longer have to watch out for cars. The air quality has improved, allowing people to breathe more freely.

Kādu nākotni es vēlos
I would like to see a much more organised road infrastructure in my city, Riga, as well as transport. I think we should also work on improving living conditions and raising wages. One of the most pressing problems is the threat of war, so another thing I would like is for this situation not to go to war and for there to be full confidence in security.

Things should definitely be more peaceful in 2040. Palestine could have its own state, Kurdistan too and Russia has a new leader who is pro-European. Taiwan is still autonomous and independent of China. Europe has moved even closer together and speaks with one voice. IS no longer exists.
