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?

Un futuro tecnológico
It's a future where technology helps us. When sleeping, the alarm clock wakes us up depending on our sleep cycle and whether we have an appointment or go to work (and depending on traffic); automatically, the blinds are opened and breakfast is prepared, while the house is already heated because the heating has been previously turned on so that it is ok when you wake up. In the car, it takes us alone without manual intervention, so we can take the opportunity to read or watch a video or even have a working videoconference. At work, we can talk to him and dictate to the computer. The keyboard and mouse have disappeared and only with the look, voice and gestures we handle everything. At lunchtime, we can book by voice a place in the restaurant and advance our order, so that you are prepared when you arrive. After work, we can enjoy a show or walk in nature or enjoy with friends, and then get home and relax having activated the heating so that it is at a good temperature depending on the expected arrival time, which is calculated when we tell the car to take us home. Finally, we are recommended to go to bed depending on the expected time to get up, so that we sleep what we need.

I'm in 2040. A lot has changed. A cure for cancer has been discovered, there is less dying, the whole world has given up smoking cigarettes, forests have plunged, people are environmentally conscious, solar heating is used everywhere, there is no pollution from cars after they have switched to electric vehicles, people are increasingly using bicycles, they recycle everything they come into contact with, there is no more waste, smoke ... everything started for the better. Artificial intelligence has taken its special place and helped the mass of what people could not do. The technology has progressed... the children have returned to the playgrounds and now live healthy. Food is naturally cultivated...there are no wars in the world...well-being...beauty and enjoyment of life.

A society with better wages and less unemployment. Renewable energy sources offering cheap energy. Tackling the climate crisis. Protecting public goods such as the environment and water. Modernising the health system. Security and justice meritocratic without vested interests. Peace and collectivity.

I meet the beautiful morning of the year 2040 on the terrace of a social care home next to the river, among green trees. A holographic projector on the World News Channel has reported on the great strides being made in providing food for Earth's citizens. The generation of nutrients carries more than enough food. Thanks to the efforts of the European government, a large number of citizens who are no longer able to work actively are living a dignified old age in social care housing. In the welfare state environment, citizens contribute to the processes of the state to the best of their abilities. People actively participate in education and technology courses, which allows them to maintain their skills and keep up with the rapid development of technology. Most of the problems that triggered military conflicts have been resolved, and a large part of military spending is devoted to improving citizens' welfare and livelihoods. Developed countries are using renewable energy sources, and as energy becomes more expensive, more and more products are being developed to improve citizens' livelihoods and education. Increasing amounts of land are being reclaimed as environmentally friendly. International peacekeeping forces are successfully controlling the few remaining regions of the planet that are still vulnerable to conflict.
