OPENING AUTHORITY (ΚΑΙΝΟΥΡΓΙΑ ΑΡΧΗ)

The digital age that should mark people’s improved and more comfortable lives has shifted a balance of modern human beings. Any real feeling and experience is now considered obsolete and anything we are new to try, banal. Social networks determine our relationships, which either do not expand or do not evolve to a large extent in their absence. At the same time, society suffers from difficult economic problems. Corrupt governments of states could only bring the situation to the end of the barley. A barbour that can only be crossed with real values. But also. Ethical principles are missing from governments, civil servants, education, young people from all over the world. Every act is considered normal as long as it satisfies our egoism. And if this egoism leads to at least one subtle spiritual investigation or an attempt to rehabilitate the labour market, we are lucky. Because most of them imitate the prominence and dreams. Most try to win the beauty when it should not have a place in their lives. What beauty do we talk to? Each defines it differently. The issue is that what is now considered to be a “coul” is often the one that destroys the whole. But everything is good! The cigarettes in each recess are scattered, such as margarites on a mountain pasture, and the graffiti are fired in the urban galleries, making a spectacle... What beautiful our cities are! Car smoke does not disturb us. Forgotten bins do not tempt us. It is enough that our cities are not flooded by climate change. It is enough that COP27 did not discuss us at all, but about something bitter African farmers who cannot feed their children.

If at least half of these problems could be solved by 2040, I would be happy. But we will find the values to bridge the gap between modern realities and real life?

dans 20 ans (peut-être)
Hello, It's October 4, 2040, and today I'm 86 years old, Madam's age is advanced, as I was able to move in 2030, I live in an apartment so I'm not complaining, there's an elevator. What's more, I live in the city, so I'm close to all amenities. The public transport service is efficient, there's a bus (without a driver) every 5 minutes - yes, people don't get around town much with their cars any more. My apartment is practically always clean, thanks to a robot that does the housework every day, and housekeepers now only intervene when people are disorientated. It's the same for cooking and washing, but the robot is there (not very chatty), and it's sorely lacking in subtlety - you have to give it clear orders, or it doesn't understand. Social relations, that depends. The building where I live is intergenerational, but people get together by affinity, so we tend to get together only when we need each other.

Βελτίωση των ΜΜΜ και μείωση της μόλυνσης του περιβάλλοντος
I would like to see the commute evolve and become safer, but also more comfortable. I would like all public transport to be controlled by remote control, so that there are no accidents, but also so that people can travel safely, comfortably and reach their destination quickly. Also, I would like to see good management of garbage so that the environment is not polluted, but also to take steps to reduce the environmental crisis.

Zeleni svijet 2040: Održiva budućnost za sve
In the future, the world will switch to 100% renewable energy sources-solar, wind, geothermal and other clean technologies. Fossil fuels are a thing of the past, but thanks to innovations in energy storage and affordable grids, the world has a stable and ecologically acceptable electricity supply.

Sretnija i zdravija buducnost
I live in 2040. People are happy, content, healthy. There is no mourning, no cats are not standing. Industries are closed. People are secure because they believe in each other, they help each other. Natural products are being used. Politicians are only here to listen to the people. Technology is here or only at the service of man. There are no rich people to rule the world. Food is home-grown, untreated with childish pesticides and artificial fertilisers. There is enough food for everyone. People live in harmony with nature. Nature and the world of life are being restored.
