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?

Frieden
In the year 2040, many things look better and more peaceful again: Trump and Putin are no longer, the wars in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip are over, Ukraine, including Crimea, belongs to the Ukrainians again, and a sovereign Palestine has been established. Politicians are younger on average and represent the population better than the rich.

Ein Traum
In the future, people should learn to take care of each other again and focus more on life and less on work. The media and computer-aided world makes everything faster every day. Technology should be used more to support people than to challenge or even overwhelm them on a daily basis. Life has to take place outside again and not in dark rooms where mobile phones shine and absolute silence reigns.

Future life
A Sustainable and Equitable World in 2040 In 2040, I envision a world where sustainability and equity are at the core of society. Clean energy powers cities, with solar, wind, and fusion technology eliminating reliance on fossil fuels. Climate change is under control due to global cooperation, reforestation efforts, and advanced carbon capture. Technology serves humanity, not just profits—AI and automation create opportunities rather than displacing workers, thanks to universal basic income and lifelong education programs. Healthcare is accessible to all, with breakthroughs in personalized medicine and disease prevention. Communities are more connected, fostering inclusivity and mutual support. Global poverty and hunger have drastically declined, and people live healthier, longer, and more fulfilling lives. This is a world where progress benefits everyone, not just a few.

Best transport
I imagine that in 2040 we will have more options for transport. I would like to see cars which can be fueled from natural sources like sun for example, and which can also be turn into personal flying objects so I would be able to choose if I would travel by land or by air in my car. It would allowed less traffic on the roads and easier, and quicker traveling.
