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?

Speranze
In 2040 there will finally be no more wars in the world and therefore not even in Europe. All this because once in a while mankind will have understood the futility of hatred and also because everyone will have realized that we are all the same. Racism will no longer exist because men will have realized that they are all the same, even if they were born and raised in different places and in different contexts. All people will help each other for the good of the whole community. There will be no income differences and no one will have more difficulty arriving at the end of the month because work, and therefore dignity, will not be lacking for anyone. The correct behavior of people will ensure that they are able to solve all problems related to the environment: all will properly separate waste, companies will not produce waste and will not pollute water and air. We will move with vehicles powered only by solar energy

Μια μέρα στην Ευρώπη του 2050
A Day in Europe 2050 After waking up on a sunny Vienna day in 2050, in a city where the streets were full of flying taxis and cyclists on the bike paths with a vast green canopy, Anna felt rejuvenated. A clean air that in the last 25 years in these cities had invented its filters, before in the atmosphere no one encounters any emission, the same homogeneous wind anymore, without a fluffy explosion. Above openly installed her smart glasses, moving on to her own needs, and from there to the agenda of the day through augmented reality. The work programme took place remotely in the virtual office, with more man-hours revolving around creative tasks, as routines now had days to be defined and some of the artificial intelligence. In the afternoon he visited an underground hydroponic farm as part of the sustainable nutrition program in the city. Then, through technology and renewable energy sources, Europe became self-sufficient in food. In the evening he descended to an event where distance united participants from across the continent in a digital space, a 3D hall through holograms. By 2050, Europe still with its own human means, ended those with charming consulates of which 2025 seemed impossible.

Halte aux extrémismes !
Unfortunately in view of the current geopolitical situation, we must expect a rise of right-wing extremes in Europe as everywhere in the world with everything related, democracy at half-mast, individual freedoms trimmed,... Difficult to see a "better" European future...

It's not interesting to me because I'm not going to live there anymore . I wish for my children and grandchildren , that they can live in peace and that the economy will be revived. There are fewer perpetrators of violence and the environment is being improved again.
