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.

I ride my hydrogen-powered bicycle all over Finland. Relatives, sights, experiences. I have met many people on similar bicycles on my journey. A great feeling of togetherness! We have remembered the time when similar journeys were made on electrified bikes. They have not been used for years. Hydrogen has replaced the use of electricity worldwide - despite the opposition of oil-producing countries. Cars, trains and other means of transport are now hydrogen-powered. With new, environmentally friendly technologies, I have started to travel abroad again. The development that started in Finland is most clearly visible in Europe. People seem to have regained their zest for life. Optimism has taken over. This is most evident in Africa, where food is being prepared in a way that takes account of the changes brought about by climate change. New varieties have been developed that can cope with less water, erosion has been corrected by planting trees and shrubs. The global shift towards plant-rich food is also reflected here in large green areas. In turn, basic livelihood security has brought greater peace. Weapons still exist, but their intensity effectively limits their use and increases the risk of conflict.

That the energy crisis will finally be solved, that we will stop using fossil fuels, that we will abandon nuclear power plants and not rely so much on renewable energy sources, because their power cannot be regulated so much.That fusion reactors will finally be put into operation - energy from the stars. And then transportation for electricity would be easy and cheap, thus cheap for everyone.

In the future of 2040, I would like to see most of the diseases that humanity suffers from disappear. If an individual becomes infected with something, they will be able to cure themselves at home. More work will be done by machines and artificial intelligence, and people will have more time to meet and spend time together. They will be able to invest the spare time they have in conservation, growing flowers, planting new forests. Children are taught more social skills in school or practical things like how to take care of nature. They learn to grow crops, plants and enjoy seeing everything bloom and grow. They are no longer interested in telephones and television, but like to take care of nature.

We will live on another planet, probably Mars, it will be like Earth but much better there will be trees and houses for everyone and everyone will have everything it will be a perfect world. Because on earth it will not be possible to live anymore because of climate change and water shortage, so there will be no other option. And of course there will be flying cars and robots everywhere
