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 want to go into the next few years until 2040 in peace and security. No war, no global conflicts and no threats should be the goal of my journey. Politicians who only look at themselves and have bad thoughts in their heads should grow flowers on their heads. I will nurture and care for them, water and pick them, so that they can still make sense of their existence. Let it rain and snow. It should storm and shake. Everything shall be so tolerable that people, animals and nature do not suffer. Wells full of water will cover the earth and thus satisfy people's only desire - namely to quench their thirst. Perhaps this is all too much to ask. But the evil and wickedness in this world always manages to bring chaos and division. "Do not do to others what you would not want done to yourself". Anyone who observes this will have a pleasant life in 2040. They will be content and will allow others the freedom they enjoy. Finally, there will no longer be any difference between humans and animals. Everyone is allowed to be there. But don't forget about diligence. The desire to create something and help others remains a basic principle of existence. And always with us: the thought of all those who need our help!

Ungewiß wo es hingeht.
Once upon a time, people didn't know which way was up. Everyone hoped that everyone would get along with everyone else and treat each other peacefully. But to achieve this, everyone should put something aside and seek a balance. Will we still be able to do this ourselves or will our digital assistants already be doing it for us? It will be particularly difficult for older people who are afraid of dealing with these things. Even the freaks don't know for sure whether they still have control over the assistants. Let's hope they are well-disposed towards us and that the majority of people treat each other in the same way. In principle, it will be similar to now, except that the digital assistants will be even more advanced. Which can be an advantage but also a disadvantage. That is why it is important that we are always aware of what we are dealing with and how. It has never hurt to be friendly and polite. If you compare the little helpers to pets and you take good care of them, the Digis will hopefully see no reason to treat us badly, just like animals show affection. Unless there are evil spirits behind it programmed by humans to exploit this weakness. Positive thinking can help.

I get woken up by my robot, it helps to get the day started. Then there's a machine that reminds you to do something nice for yourself and drives you to work, so you can just enjoy the time and the calm instead of stressing yourself with traffic. Work has become easier with a lot of aids and the profit when you get home from work has increased

I think the future would be better if people stopped bickering and invented things like protecting the environment and nature, and developing technology. It would be great if people could move from one place to another with little or no emissions. Some kind of fast ship on water, under water or on rails to get from one place to another as quickly as possible. I read an article that mentioned a plan for a train between New York and London that would go through a tunnel at the bottom of the ocean. At the moment that construction would certainly not be very environmentally friendly, but possibly in twenty years time it would be different. You could stop flying altogether. Electric cars could also be developed so that it would not take so much water to mine cobalt. And that they wouldn't explode on their own.
