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.

Hoffnung: der Grund sich nicht am Anfang des Jahres 2025 den Suizid zu wählen.
For my future in 2040, I would only wish that we as a global community have still managed to curb global warming and slow down climate change. I hope that we have still managed to avert a third world war and that the USA has not slipped into fascism. I wish for more social and gender justice and tolerance and humanism in general.

Ideal
The financial issues tackling Europe are no longer. The left governments are in charge. Owning a home and decent transport systems throughout Europe and all are easily accessible. Intereuropean flights are cheap, most of Europe runs on solar and wind power energy. High educated work force and little unemployment.

Aufschwung
In 2040, the world has become a true democracy. Politicians no longer operate in elitist bubbles, but are able to grasp and implement the true needs of the population. Decisions are based on transparency and direct participation - every vote counts, regardless of social status. Security has noticeably increased: crime is effectively combated through preventive measures such as education, social integration and intelligent surveillance systems, without sacrificing privacy. Prosperity is no longer a privilege of the few; through sustainable economic activity, fair tax systems and global trade networks, broad sections of the population enjoy access to education, health and modern technologies. A balanced energy and circular economy have increased the quality of life, while social inequalities have been reduced. 2040 stands for a society that not only promises democracy, security and prosperity, but lives it - a model that unites and advances humanity.

Projection en 2040
The year is 2040. We need to think positively about our children and grandchildren. How they'll live in either serene or turbulent times. I'd like the future to be full of peace, less anxiety. Serenity compared to what we're feeling right now. I imagine that in 2040 there will be more peace, less anxiety, nature respected and offering a serene future. Technologies are evolving so fast that our children's adaptation will be rapid and will advance the way we live and depend on them more and more. My dearest wish is that life will be easier, calmer and more welcoming, with a great deal of respect.
