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 2040 we are much more in solidarity with each other, the great fortunes have redistributed a large part of their profits for research and the fight against inequalities. Thanks to ambitious programmes, we are about to put an end to global warming.

It's a sunny winter's day. No more wars and the world is in harmony. Everyone around me is reasonably healthy and there is a cure for cancer thanks to research. Inflation and purchasing power remain more or less the same. The economic situation is improving and the refugee crisis has been resolved. People's fears are no longer being exploited by the media. That's all I want to write.

By 2040, people have become more aware of the animal suffering that comes with a piece of meat on your plate. Fewer and fewer people will eat meat and replace it with other foods. This will also reduce the greenhouse effect and give nature a helping hand. People get fewer physical complaints because they eat healthier and because of this there is also less unemployment among workers. Because we eat fewer animals, that space is exchanged for more nature, which increases biodiversity

Friede und Freundschaft für die Rasse Mensch
Some sunny day in the summer of 2040. I walk in the city park and see the people who also want to go outside to enjoy the day in the sun. They play with the dog, have fun with their children, do sports or just stand together in a small group and discuss everyday things. There is peace in the world, so there is no fear of attacks, acts of terrorism or air defense sirens. I am approaching a group of people – they are my neighbours, all normal and very nice people. They all welcomed me warmly when I moved here a few years ago. We all welcome each other and discuss briefly what we want to do on the weekend. Everyone has suggestions and we briefly discuss everything and quickly agreed on one of the activities. We easily arrange a meeting point and a time. I look forward to showing and telling them about my homeland again - as well as Hassan from Afghanistan, Ahmet from Turkey, Josip from Hungary, Alexandrej from Russia and Mike from England. All just normal people.
