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?

It's summer 2040. I stand on top of a hill, the wild forest is behind me. The air is clean and easy to breathe, the sun is shining and the birds are singing. Insects buzzing around me flying from flower to flower, swallows flying in the sky. Far away there is a blue lake, the water is clear and clean. I see a lone fisherman in the waters experiencing his nets. She and her family are having dinner with fresh fish today. On the right side of the lake there are grazing cows, which are allowed to keep their calves and are not taken away after birth. On the left is an eyeless forest. That's where I'm going with my dog. I'm going to stay in a forest where every wild animal gets to live in a species-typical way. There are no wars, no climate change, no famine. There is peace in the world, and so do I.

Europe, tu es enfin là, et je te comprends !
2050... Soon 85 years that I saw the world in France! It has been a long time since there are no borders in Europe, and the notion of France, as well as other states, has finally begun to fade, in favor of a true European identity. Finally, all Europeans have decided to work together! All united towards a common goal! The real click was the introduction of AIs that had a decisive impact in setting up real-time translators in 2030. Finally the obstacle of the language was no longer one! French, Germans, Dutch, Spanish, Greeks and all the inhabitants of Europe could dialogue and understand each other directly. Finally, the peoples expressed themselves and understood without difficulty. Today, we Europeans are able to debate freely! This has enabled us to move Europe's governance towards a global presidency, elected by universal suffrage. More local interface to jam candadats of any origin We have become one great state, and all is well.

I envision 2040 as a year in which technology has finally struck a balance with sustainability and human well-being. It is not a dystopian future dominated by machines, but a harmonious evolution. I would like you to: * **Energy was clean and plentiful:** Solar, wind and geothermal energy are the main sources, with a smart grid that manages energy efficiency optimally. Electric cars are the norm, and sustainable mobility is accessible to all. * **Health was a priority:** Access to medical care is universal and personalized, thanks to the advancement of preventive medicine and early diagnostics. Medical technology is used to improve the quality of life, not just to prolong it. * **The environment should be protected:** Cities should be green and sustainable, with large green spaces and greater biodiversity. Pollution is drastically reduced, and natural resources are managed responsibly. The technology is used to monitor and protect the environment. * **Equality was a reality:** Social and economic inequalities are significantly reduced, with more opportunities for everyone, regardless of background or background. Access to education and training is guaranteed for all. * **Technology was an ally:** Artificial intelligence is used to solve complex problems, such as poverty, hunger and disease. Technology is accessible to all and used to improve people's lives, not to control them. Human-machine interaction is intuitive and natural. In essence, I would like 2040 to be a year in which humanity has learned to live in harmony with nature and with itself, harnessing technological progress to create a more just, equitable and sustainable future for all.

Green planet.
I hope for the better future. Fresh air and more green around us all. I hope people will more grow their own food and be more active in food production. Because we are wasting so much food what we buy daily and do not understand how much of it goes to waste each day making a lot of general waste, paper, plastic, glass. It all goes back to nature. We need to protect our planet and stop creating so much waste and need to think how to avoid plastic and glass getting back to nature. One way is to grow our own food and teach our kids how to do the same to protect our planet. To become greener, healthier and more cleaner planet. How to create more forests, parks, ponds and more wild life around us.
