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?

Vanus on 2040 üksnes number!
First of all, I hope I'm still alive. I also hope that I am so healthy that I can manage my own life because then the care system for the elderly is so good that I don't have to go to a nursing home because they don't exist anymore. They will help you in your home until you die. For homework, every elderly person has their own robot with whom they can communicate. The robot can also monitor and document the health of the elderly.

El Cáncer se cura
The world finally realizes the importance of healing. With an increase in aid and investments in research, in just a decade incredible advances are made in the cure and survival of the most harmful cancers. In addition, there is a chain reaction effect that makes advances in the cure of diseases increasingly important by increasing knowledge in gene therapies.

Lepší zítřky
In 2040, I'm 85 years old, I don't care much about the future anymore, because as I get older, I lose my strength. Everything around me is changing so fast that I can no longer handle new technologies and must be helped by my grandchildren or great-grandchildren if they find time for me. Fortunately, since 2025, no wars have arisen in my vicinity, humanity seems to have become wiser or lazy, and everyone is playing on their own sand. The dream of a great Europe has vanished, yet we are somewhat different and also have different historical experiences. The warming of the Earth has stopped, so the heat is no longer tiring. Since nature managed to recover, straightened watercourses returned to the original meanders, drenched meadows left at the mercy of mosquitoes and other vermin, life is better. I am glad that I lived through these times, even though my health and legs no longer serve me. I am delighted with my offspring who thrive and only hear of the old days when there was no freedom.

UTOPIA
In 2040 I would like a world less focused on career and money, where people have the time and pleasure of being with family and friends. I would like to see more inclusion, especially social inclusion. I would like a health care that works, where care is accessible to everyone and where there is no economic speculation whatsoever. I would like more education from everyone, especially towards the elderly, towards those who do not fit into stereotypes and towards the needy in general. I would like more sensitivity for animals and I would like to have so many resources to have a recovery center for abandoned or mistreated animals. I would like young people to rediscover the joy of being together even without technology. I would like a reality without wars and with a justice that works, so as to have greater social security.
