Honest present (Iskrena sedanjost)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

We talk about the future, but I would return to the past. Mutual relations and respect will be discussed. I believe that they have lost their values through global technological developments and a modern way of life. That’s why in 2040 I imagine a series of sincere talks between all generics and regardless of social attitudes. The coffee conversations will not be interrupted by the disruptive message, the father of the child will be able to engage in entertainment at sea with the children and will not be absent due to phone belling and “urgent” calls from the service. I also imagine animation of children other than playing games on a tablet and looking at cartoons. We are available 24 hours a day via phones, i.e. some can be reached at work 24 hours a day, linking it to the privativities of individuals and separating the job segment and private life. In my home words, I don’t want people to “carry a job home”. I again imagine that we start a frank discussion about the problems of individuals and we don’t sweep the problems, but solve them. Here, I remember Ana Karenina’s book, where the spouses fled up to 4 nights until they had solved all the problems and only then bred into bed.

La société en 2040
Society in 2040 is more tolerant, with individuals less individualistic, but with a real awareness of the importance of "forming society", of being a community of solidarity, responsible for its future and its environment. Man has realized that he can be the key to his own salvation. Individuals are now more involved on a daily basis in helping others, preserving the environment and sharing wealth. Individual aspirations have given way to a collective, voluntary dynamic. Everyone is involved at his or her own pace, providing help, a gesture or time for an environmental or social cause. The economy is no longer based solely on personal enrichment, but values work and investment.

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.
