It was a sunny morning in September 2050 when I set out on a journey to the heart of Europe's future. As I traveled through Zagreb by autonomous electric vehicle, I noticed how public parks had transformed the congested streets. People were gathering in botanical gardens, exchanging ideas, and creating collective projects for a sustainable future.

Between 2025 and 2050, the world underwent a significant transformation. Cities became self-sufficient, and renewable energy replaced fossil fuels. Inspired by eco-innovations, I visited a center for innovation where young experts were working on developing new technologies for recycling plastic waste into bioplastics.

After lunch, I strolled along the Drava River, where cherry blossoms were falling from trees and providing a source of food. We were all connected – nature, technology, and people. In that instant, I realized that the future we had dreamed of was finally a reality. And every day was an opportunity to create a better world.

As I continued my journey, I witnessed a Europe where borders were no longer an issue, and people from all walks of life were living together in harmony. The air was clean, the water was pure, and the earth was thriving. I saw a generation of innovators and leaders who had taken responsibility for shaping their own future and that of their planet.

In this Europe of 2050, sustainability was not just a buzzword; it was a way of life. People had come together to create a world where technology and nature coexisted in perfect harmony, where the needs of the present were met without compromising the future. It was a future that was not just possible, but already here – a reminder that the choices we make today shape the world we live in tomorrow.

I returned to the present with a renewed sense of purpose, inspired by the people and projects I had met on my journey. I knew that creating a better world would require effort, creativity, and determination, but I also knew that it was achievable. And so, I encouraged others to join me on this journey, to dream big, and to work together to build a Europe that was truly for all.

Andare avanti o tornare indietro?

I imagine that I am in 2040 and I see all the differences between the life of these years, the life of the current years and the present one. Everything is facilitated for people, from family life, to transportation, to life at work. The house is all automated, you can control everything with your voice or smartphone (even from outside the house). Outside I am waiting for a machine that uses the energy deriving from hydrogen to move, at work I have the assistance of robots and machines moved by artificial intelligence. Does this really improve my life? What I need all this without me being able to intervene and choose what I want to do alone, without the help of machines or robots and artificial intelligence. Were our grandparents no longer happy? I'd like to go back and try to live like my ancestors

Un nuevo mundo

I wish that in the future, more specifically in 2040, society would be different, that after a pandemic, wars and all the political and social unrest we have today we would have learned something from it all. Let society be less selfish, less self-centered, without so much stress or burden, that there would be more peace and tranquility. I suppose that there will be more advances and they will have to serve for something, not only for some to get rich and have access to it only a few. I wish I could see many changes and all positive, natural catastrophes are inevitable, but wars and confrontations can and should be avoided. But in order to reach those changes, the first thing that should be renewed are all politicians worldwide, we need a general cleaning of politicians, new airs, who understand and listen to society.

Die Welt 2040

There are self-driving vehicles also aircraft are fully autonomous , the AI has found its way into all areas and supports the working population for the most part, the world climate is now also adapted and back in the normal range of the century. All wars should also be largely ended and halfway peace should prevail on earth. The retirement age has been raised from an average of over 90 years to 70 years due to the higher life expectancy. But unfortunately, there will still be rich and poor and the gap between the continents will still exist.

These times are hostile to sensitive people and the values they carry with their delicacy. But times are changing and I hope that my grandchildren will live to see a time when people will be valued, their differences and their right to decide for themselves. Then people will not underestimate other people, will love foreigners and will have empathy for all those in need; share with the poor, help the infirm. Much depends on us not to be deceived by consumerism and the values handed down to us by previous generations to be able to pass on.
