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.

Das Jahr 2040
The year is 2040 and we live in a time when people have understood that war is not a solution. After the USA and China have proven to the world that they have power, peace reigns. Unfortunately, people can no longer live everywhere without problems due to weather disasters. There are more and more periods of heat and therefore drought. The world is constantly changing.

vivre simplement
In 2040, I'd like us to still be able to live in nature, to still be present, to still be in good health. I'd like my family to be able to continue to live in complete freedom, to maintain the French traditions that we hold so dear, to preserve the heritage that has made our country what it is, and for everyone to be able to live together in complete safety.

Grünes Utopia
In 2040, we will have managed to live sustainably and ecologically without exploiting nature any further. Damaging the environment leads to very high penalties. People have finally realized that humans, animals and the environment only work together - not separately. This is why nature and animal protection has become so important. Animal products are now only consumed and produced in exceptional cases. Animal rights have taken on a high priority. We have also come a long way in terms of technology, so that there are almost no private vehicles any more, but you can get to your destination quickly and easily with car sharing or public transport. Consumption has changed drastically and it is no longer about "more, more, more" and Provit, but about long-lasting, sustainable, social products that are good for everyone. There are awards for companies that act in a particularly honest, socially and environmentally responsible way. People are much healthier and happier. There is more cohesion and cultural exchange.
