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?

I wish that humanity was truly considered equal by all and that racism, homophobia would disappear and that there would be greater respect for women and that bullying in all its forms would disappear so that people could live without fear of others and be recognized as different.

I wish for a peaceful world in 2040. The world is open to other people and religions. No war and no hunger, just a better world where people accept and respect each other. No hatred, no violence and no terror and attacks. No people who die in war or in an attack.

The technological future. Robots will no longer be an idea, they will be the present, with vehicles that will not only be electric, but will also have the characteristic of being able to fly for great distances on highways designed with special lights through the skies and buildings in the world. We will all have a helper at home made of technology to facilitate the work of the home and the education of our children, designed according to the needs of each one. Jobs will be increasingly remote and labor mobility will be better, making it easier for you to be hired anywhere in the world, as long as you have good computer equipment and a large capacity internet, that instead of being disadvantageous, will make it easier for information to travel at greater speed and immediacy

In 2040, everyday life is profoundly transformed by technology. Cities are smart, with self-sufficient buildings using solar energy and self-driving transport networks. Autonomous cars are finally a reality, reducing road traffic and reducing polluting emissions. Artificial intelligence is embedded in every aspect of society: Virtual assistants manage the house, book appointments and optimize work activities. Remote working is the norm, with holograms replacing video calls, making meetings more immersive. Medicine has also made great strides. Thanks to biotechnology, genetic diseases have almost disappeared and nanotechnologies allow immediate treatment for many diseases. Human longevity has increased, with many people over 100 in excellent health. Education is fully personalised where students learn through interactive experiences. However, new challenges are emerging. Dependence on technology raises ethical and social issues, and humanity must address the delicate balance between progress and mental well-being. Overall, 2040 is an era of extraordinary possibilities, where innovation continues to redefine the way we live, work and interact with the world.
