The way to the future: Day in 2050

One sunny morning in the summer of 2050, Eva woke up in her cozy, eco-designed house in Bratislava. Over the past 25 years, Europe has changed beyond recognition. From 2025 until now, big cities have turned into green metropolises full of parks and community gardens. The air was clean, the traffic was electrified, and all the buildings were energy self-sufficient.

Eva put on a lightweight and comfortable suit made of recycled materials and went to work on her electric bike. Thanks to 5G technology and artificial intelligence, she had a very flexible job and solved most of the tasks from home. Today, however, she had a scheduled meeting with colleagues at a recently opened research centre.

Along the way, she noticed how people used smart benches to charge their devices, and how children played in a virtual park where they could participate in interactive educational games. This generation had access to education and information like never before.

One of the biggest changes Eve observed was an increased awareness of sustainability and cooperation. European countries have come together to achieve climate goals and promote peace. In 2050, Eva lived in Europe, where people cared for each other and their planet, and this filled her with great hope for the future.

In 2040, Russia broke up into smaller states and China became a democracy. Prior to this, Russia has been at war, which has led to increased readiness and small border thorns also near the Finnish border. The World War could be avoided. Europe has been able to lighten the regulation that suppresses innovation, and the benefits of the common market have brought new prosperity to the whole region. Space tourism is still a utopia, but we dream of it. Artificial intelligence has reduced the need for labour, just like computers or the internet used to. The pain in society is that the top performers do well, but the less capable have fewer and fewer job opportunities and become passive. However, for political reasons, basic income has not been reached and there is a lot of this in the newspapers. Immigration has decreased and demographic trends have stabilised. The famine in Africa raises concerns and climate change puts pressure on population movements. The threat of war in the South is obvious. In the midst of the threats, I feel that already towards the end of my career I am financially safe thanks to entrepreneurship and hard work, and my children are doing well in a changed world. The future does not seem unproblematic, but disasters have, as before, been avoided.

Tempo per la famiglia
It's 2040. Today parents work only half a day, when their children are at school, and spend the rest of the day with them. They have finally acquired the right to form a family and to live it in balance with their work. Their children will enjoy the time that their parents were not allowed because of a wrong development pattern that has finally been erased.
