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.

održiva budućnost
I envision a 2040s era in which the problem of climate change is significantly mitigated thanks to global growth, innovation and lifestyle change. The world is turning to clean energy - solar, wind and fusion technologies - and fossil fuels are certainly being sinking. Castles are empty of green areas, vertical farms and liveable land, while rivers, musts and noise are being restored. People have been encouraged to change - consumption is rational, products are longer-lasting and recyclable, and the economy is based on social principles. Technology, instead of making life harder, allows for a better quality of life and more free time for creativity, learning and socialising.

dans 20 ans (peut-être)
Hello, It's October 4, 2040, and today I'm 86 years old, Madam's age is advanced, as I was able to move in 2030, I live in an apartment so I'm not complaining, there's an elevator. What's more, I live in the city, so I'm close to all amenities. The public transport service is efficient, there's a bus (without a driver) every 5 minutes - yes, people don't get around town much with their cars any more. My apartment is practically always clean, thanks to a robot that does the housework every day, and housekeepers now only intervene when people are disorientated. It's the same for cooking and washing, but the robot is there (not very chatty), and it's sorely lacking in subtlety - you have to give it clear orders, or it doesn't understand. Social relations, that depends. The building where I live is intergenerational, but people get together by affinity, so we tend to get together only when we need each other.

Βελτίωση των ΜΜΜ και μείωση της μόλυνσης του περιβάλλοντος
I would like to see the commute evolve and become safer, but also more comfortable. I would like all public transport to be controlled by remote control, so that there are no accidents, but also so that people can travel safely, comfortably and reach their destination quickly. Also, I would like to see good management of garbage so that the environment is not polluted, but also to take steps to reduce the environmental crisis.
