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.

Optimisme
A better future would be one in which we stop fighting or getting worked up over things that aren't important, and wars of "religion" no longer exist. We'd take care of the earth and stop polluting it. On a more personal note, my daughters would have finished their studies and have a job in which they're fulfilled, they'd have a family life that they want and that they don't feel "trapped" in. In short, they'd be happy to discover the world without fear of their fellow man or of a natural disaster, and they'd travel to discover a world unpolluted by mass tourism. I'd be close to retirement, so I hope I'd still be able to enjoy my family and the free time I'd have. And everyone would be in good health.

Svetla prihodnost polna optimizma
I want a diocratic europe without neo-Nazis, without people who want power not for money but to make a difference. I want to see as much connection to public transport as possible, as few cars as possible in city centres. I want the protests to be repeated, so that Slovenia can finally get rid of Janez Jansa. That we succeed in limiting global warming. That it is easier for young people to get their first jobs and to get housing.

Continuing the trend of "all for nature conservation and animal welfare". The official line is to tackle climate change, which is the culprit for all changes, good and bad, that really have nothing to do with it. Local communities realise that cooperation is better than competition, but they don't know what that really means. What happens at global level is transferred to local level and the trends are expected to be the same - warming everywhere, weather extremes everywhere - which is not really the case. Instead of warming, it is colder, because there is the effect of 'cold water coming out of the radiator', which cools everything down.

In 2040, I think Europe has a stronger economy and is no longer seen as a continent stuck in the past. More jobs, less crime, less unnecessary immigration and a strong common belief that Europe can handle problems together and not rely on the US to support it all the time. I think we need to have a common defense budget and not make too many laws that make the work difficult for the member states. Environmental work should continue and the continent should take steps to catch up in technology development and not rely on Asia or America.
