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?

Futuro-utopia
Being woken up by a super smart alarm clock, having breakfast ready by a robot cooker programmed at night by smartphone, brushing my teeth with a futuristic paste, dressing and getting ready after a personal robot has prepared everything for me. Exit and close the door with smart lock, monitor taken from the smartphone and be transported by a taxi without driver. Work only four hours a day and with the help of super computers to directly dispense prescriptions to customers. Go from uber without driver to the gym, have a personal trainer computerized and specialized only in my person do the training and return in the same way home. Dinner ready corn once by autonomous and rest day robot "super tiring" and future-utopian.

It's 2040 and nothing is the same anymore. I no longer see a person in the street, whether it's children playing or people walking, our reality has become robotic due to the evolution of technology. Cars drive themselves, robot butlers do the shopping for the house, children take classes online and adults work on computers. Gone are the days when you used to go out to meet a friend... now you only see them by video call.

Hey! 2040 is here... I had no idea time would pass so quickly. Kids are grown up now, life has different shapes and stages, everything is digitalized. It's gone quiet in our lives and everything seems easier now. The children have their own lives; we're seeing our own age. We go on vacations more now, it's easier than 20 years ago because the cars go both on the ground and in the air. They are much better equipped and safer and accidents are fewer and fewer.

Now in 2040, non-renewable energy is not used. All energy used is renewable and is effectively managed. Recycling is part of everyone's day-to-day life, as is caring for nature. Contrary to what was previously seen, there is no garbage on the beaches, in the sea and in the woods.
