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.

Libertà, uguaglianza e natura.
In 2040 there will be no nations, the geopolitical world will be united under a great confederation in which every person will be free to move about and everyone will be free to profess their beliefs and sexuality without any fear because everything will be accepted. There will be no poverty and wealth will be equally distributed, people will live with respect for nature and animals, and we will all be vegans.

Ograniczenie marnowania zasobów
The physical work is handled by robots and their operators. With artificial intelligence, working on code will not require writing lines from scratch, but gluing code together from pieces. This will lower the threshold for older people and those without IT training to enter and stay in the job market. At the same time, boring and low-paying white-collar work for lower corporate positions will be almost completely automated. Entertainment will move almost entirely to augmented reality. Automobiles and mass transportation will become semi-automated, with little intervention from the driver. Roads will be designed to reduce the number of intersections as much as possible. Energy storage will become efficient enough to reduce energy prices and relieve the burden on transmission networks to households. There will also be designs for settlements that take advantage of natural land formations in rocks or underground, saving energy for air conditioning and heating.
