Jutro u 2040 godini

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

The morning began with the sound of a melody that did not come from the alarm, but from a stolen assistant in the mirror. The mirror greeted me and showed me the weather forecast, the plan of the day and my stress level, with a short meditation.

While I was putting on my smart clothing, it was adjusting to the temperature and the weather. The kitchen was a side dish - the robot-chef prepared a savoury smoothie to meet my nutritional needs, which he analysed over the course of a week.

At the end, I flew in a flying capsule that flew over the hill. Traffic jams were a matter of routine, but I used the time spent travelling to read the article on virtual reality. I went to a building with an ecosystem that recycles its waste and uses solar energy.

I connected to a collective network at the business. We didn't use keyboards or screens anymore - all information is transmitted to the mind via neural connections. In the pause, I walked through a digital park where holograms of billions and birds were creating a nature scene.

In the evening, returning to the house, I saw a "celestial display" on the ceiling - an artificially twisted sky which helps with abandonment. While I was drifting off to sleep, the smart switch in the room extended my disconnection and adjusted the temperature for a short break.

The future was wonderful, or sometimes I dreamed of single-state weather.

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.

une vie sans guerre
Now, in 2040, I'm enjoying the sweetness of life in my senior residence. I'm 80 years old, and despite my various pathologies, medical progress has enabled me to be a "healthy patient"... 15 years ago, people of goodwill from all countries and religions decided to join forces against a common enemy: global warming. Humanity, united at last, turned its back on murderous, sterile wars. Since then, technical, ecological and medical progress has been phenomenal. This will allow me to live well for another few decades.

Lavenir de demain
Like chameleons, the homes of 2050 will often change appearance, both aesthetically and functionally (part of the home can become immersive at any time, for example). Our relationship with storage will also be different, as we will no longer see our stocks. They will be managed by robots in dedicated airlocks. Connected mirrors will save an incredible amount of time in preparation. There's also a major change concerning water: it will have completely disappeared from the rooms of the house, except as a beverage. As a result, we'll have done away with most of today's household appliances (clothes will be washed automatically, showers will be forced-air showers...). Our homes will no longer be just living spaces. They will serve as data collectors, which they will send to various universal AIs. However, the primary function of the home will remain as a space for families to share experiences and as a breathing space for its inhabitants.
