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.

Totally United Europe
In 2040, I would love to see a totally united Europe including the countries that are part of the EU but are not as supportive as many countries, and including Ukraine and other countries that are not yet part of the EU. It would make it so much more attractive to holiday in a totally united Europe - and hopefully, the costs will not have soured as they have been doing for many European countries.

Zurück in die Vergangenheit
Keine E-Autos mehr auf den Straßen. Das war vorraus zu sehen. Überall verwaiste E-Ladestationen. Das das Netz zusammen brechen würde war vielen klar, aber der kleine Mann hatte ja nichts zu sagen. Gas teuer, Strom zusammen gebrochen, wir sind anstatt vorwärts zu gehen zurück in die Vergangenheit geraten. Panik bricht aus, Kreditkarte funktionieren nicht mehr, Bargeld ist kaum vorhanden. Kommt jetzt doch Windkraft oder Wasserkraft? Wassermühlen wie früher? Brettspiele statt Fernsehen und Handy?

EU my home
I want to see EU as a strong, technologycally advanced society. It should be much more connected (common military, foreign policy, strong and efficient central government), able to deal efficiently with problems like climate change, immigration strategy,social justice, health care and many more problems that we have today. I would definitely like to see much less dependence on US, with relations on equal terms instead. It would grant a society of wealth and therefore less tensions.

Upanje za prihodnost.
In 2040, it would be nice to have more freedom, more joy, more happiness, more hope and more empathy and understanding. No differences, no racism, sexism, or anything like that. No hatred in general. I cannot put into words how much I want this. Equality for all. That is my hope, my wish. If it comes true in 2040, when I'm gone, I'll still be happy as a ghost.
