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?

By 2040, I'll be almost 80 years old. It follows, of course, that I hope that elderly care will then be at a high level ….I want my children to be healthy and happy and not have a difficult life. World peace would be a great bonus, but I'm afraid that's an illusion. What did not succeed in 2000 years is …..Harmony is perhaps a better word. Solutions have been devised for a better environment and a fairer distribution of wealth would also be very pleasant. In my ideal future, cell phones would take on a smaller role. Genuine communication between people makes a big difference.

By 2040, my world will be full of sustainable and humane technology. I have always dreamed that every person could live without threats to the environment or health, so I would like to see a Europe where climate change has been overcome and well-being is for everyone. In cities, green roofs and vertical gardens produce food locally and there is no more food waste – AI accurately predicts needs. Our energy comes only from renewable sources, and the seas are clean again. People move seamlessly on electric, shared-ownership vehicles, and there is no traffic pollution. Healthcare has evolved so that diseases are effectively prevented, and everyone receives personalised care without waiting in line. Mental health is seen as important as physical health, and society supports everyone's well-being. The future in which technology and nature live in harmony is not a dream – it is a choice we made together.

Future. This is a story set there. There are trees with all fruits, flying machines, and artificial intelligence dominates the world. People have been replaced in part by robots, and the efficiency of the world has improved dramatically. For a better world wait until 2040 to have all this. Or is all this just science fiction? Who knows. We will only find out by living.

This morning I am already riding my electric bike to the nearest drone port. For an attractive price, you can fly an electric drone to a shopping city along a fixed and safe route. This avoids traffic jams and you can go from there to various other locations by electric public transportation. Reservations can be made in advance using an app.
