The future - the word itself is so mysterious that it is very difficult to think about what might be behind it. Be it in the near future or much further away. If you think about it, it's an area that's a little close to your heart and a little familiar. The book world. Will there be more books in the future? There are already e-books and e-books. Or, on the contrary, we have returned to the present day, where the paper book still has a role to play. I would very much hope so. All I'd think about is - picking up a brand new book that smells of ink - waiting to see what content opens up in it. However, there are robots who will bring you a book and read it out. Good, comfortable, of course, but would you like to. Or maybe the robots are already so good that they don't have that metallic sound in their speech. They are also able to discuss what they have read. One thing is the emotion that comes from reading them, but another thing is also what the other (others) find in this text. There are probably no libraries anymore. Or, if it is, it has all retreated into the world of robots - service, communication, etc. Machines drive between bookshelves, find what you want, drive to the next robot, who will note it somewhere. There has to be an overview of where the books are. I feel like I'm going to become a robot myself, a marching step into the library, a book in a bag, thanks and the whole story. Communication regresses because there is no need for a large vocabulary. Robots are talented and advanced, but they don't replace humans. At the same time, we can't stand still and shout, we're already fine. In fact, it is.

Ausweg aus der Klimakrise
I hope that all of humanity will recognize the climate crisis and take it seriously. In 2040, the global community will finally no longer be working independently and against each other, but together to save the world from extinction. Examples: - Reducing or even stopping global warming - Preserving and restoring ecosystems - climate-friendly food production - Developing climate-neutral technologies for transportation

To be in a really future
2025 swipe and I'm in 2040. Nature has barely changed. I leave my home which is now altered with a spherical rotating solar panel roofing. My car that can fly about 1 meter high approaches at my indication by a voice prompt and opens the doors to get in. I am welcomed by a computer voice asking where I want to go. Floating, the ride begins. My car uses hydrogen and is nature friendly. I sink relaxed into the massage seat and hear the messages that were sent to my built-in chip in my body. Where is the nostalgic time of the smartphone. Along the way I see massive drones flying all kinds of messages to customers. There is also a drone on its way perhaps to my home. This will be met by Sittu my house robot who does all the housework like cleaning, cooking and chores. It is weekend and my spouse is already to our daughter and granddaughter. I am now going to pick her up to shop together at the Dixi Tower where you can now do all types of shopping. Gone are the many stores, supermarkets and local grocers. Where is the time of 2025 when you could still cozy up.

Noch mehr Europa wagen
I hope that, despite all the obstacles, Europe will grow even closer together in order to overcome global challenges. Many of these challenges can only be mastered if not only purely national interests are represented, but if Europe approaches things with common goals. Defense, securing energy supplies, more social justice. I also hope that Europe manages to fight back against populism and falsehoods.

Šviesi ir melancholiška ateitis
2050. Sunrise over Rome's Old Town paints the sky a soft orange colour. The city wakes quietly, but already the whisper of electric vehicles and the light gust of wind carrying the salt of the Mediterranean can be heard. Europe has changed dramatically in the last 25 years. The climate crisis has forced countries to focus on renewable energy, and cities have become greener, with polluting cars virtually disappearing from the streets, replaced by autonomous electric cars and bicycles. Food production has also changed: vertical farms have solved product shortages and lab-grown meat has become a common choice. Today, my plans include a quick trip to Paris on the hyper-trains that now connect all Europe's major cities. The journey will take just an hour - time for a cup of coffee and a short chat with friends via hologram. Life has become more convenient, but have people become happier? That's what we're still looking for.
