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.

In 2050, the world has changed in ways that would have seemed like science fiction only a few decades ago. Green spaces have spiralled skywards, interspersed with urban skyscrapers that breathe with the pattern of artificial intelligence. Cities glowed at night in a bioluminescent landscape, replacing street lights with shimmering pathways that changed colour according to the mood of the people walking by, thanks to state-of-the-art biofeedback technology.

Sicherheit und Erziehung
I would like the migrants to accept us as we are. I have nothing against them living out their culture in return for them accepting ours. Criminals should finally be punished appropriately so that we can walk the streets as freely as we did a few years ago. Parents should not question every sentence but educate their children so that they can behave themselves and not ask the child what is right. I have to say that I love children, but their behavior leaves a lot to be desired.

Echte Demokratie, kein Gelaber
My wish for 2040 is that we will no longer be bossed around by such nobodies and whistles in Brussels or in national governments. Politics in the EU is increasingly degenerating into lobbyism and a self-service store. More direct democracy and not just a pretense of democracy. Security in the EU should be protected by external borders.

Bleak future
Sadly all of humanities efforts to battle climate change went unnoticed. The constant wars and new biologically engineered diseases wreacked havoc both on the economy and the environment. The global population started declining and the wealth inequality grew uncontrolled. Now only 0.01% of the population controlled all the resources and everyone else was considered slave labor. Some revolutions were instigated but sadly all of them failed due to the slaves fighting the technologically advanced weaponry of the elites with sticks.
