OPENING AUTHORITY (ΚΑΙΝΟΥΡΓΙΑ ΑΡΧΗ)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

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?

Una vida mejor
In the future, measures have been implemented to take care of the environment, energy no longer pollutes and is produced in a respectful way. Companies have learned to carry out their processes in a more efficient way, without consuming so many resources and above all recycling and reducing their energy consumption. Jobs are helped by new technologies to make them simpler and makes commuting more motivating and less tiring. On the other hand, companies are totally transparent and have left aside the marketing campaigns that are only valid to try to sell a product that finally is not as good as it was presented

Krótka historia o dniu w 2050 roku
I woke up this morning in my smart home, which automatically adjusted the temperature and lighting to my preferences. For breakfast, I ate a nutritious meal, prepared by a kitchen robot, which makes sure that my diet is balanced and adapted to my needs. After breakfast, I got into my self-driving car, which drove me to work. On the way, I could read the news, watch a movie or talk to friends thanks to the virtual reality that surrounded me in the car. At work, I spent time in meetings with my colleagues who, like me, worked remotely from different parts of the world. Thanks to advanced technology, I felt like we were in one room, even though we were thousands of kilometers away. After work, I went to the gym, where I used a personal trainer who, thanks to artificial intelligence, was able to choose the perfect training for me, adapted to my capabilities and goals. In the evening I spent time with my family, playing video games in virtual reality, watching movies or talking about the past day. Before I went to bed, I connected to my sleep monitor, which analyzed the quality of my sleep and adjusted the conditions in the bedroom so that I could get the best sleep. It was a typical day in 2050. Technology makes our lives easier, helps us take care of our health and allows us to spend more time with our loved ones. I hope that the future will be even better and that technology will serve us even more, helping us live longer, healthier and happier lives. In the future, I would like technology to be even more accessible and help solve global problems such as climate change, hunger and disease. I would also like people to be more aware of the impact of technology on our lives and be able to use it responsibly.

Du bon sens!
In 2025, I would like my children and grandchildren to live in a society of peace and mutual respect between humans and between humans and nature. A simple life, less technological than what we are building. For example, we would be rid of the problems of pollution, loss of biodiversity. It requires manual work but if it is well organized and people do "community", I think it is more beneficial than today's society behind computers where we try to sell more things to everyone. A society at least quickly but where the care one can have for auters is important. For people to be happy and healthy, I think we all need to spend time outside, move, spend time with others and do things together that make sense: gardening, building, cooking...

Un mundo viviendo en paz.
I wish the world in 2040 had peace. Where people could work and have a productive life, taking into account that with a job and the world being at peace, people were surely not going to have as many problems, as by example, lack of housing, difficulties to buy their food, a greater opportunity to study and thus lead a dignified life. I say that because there are many social inequalities in which much more money is spent on arming than on scientific studies focused on the well-being of people. A world with less hunger, a world with fewer wars and with politicians really involved with the honesty and fulfillment of their work. Don't be in politics just to fill your pockets. An improvement in health care globally, where professionals would work with pleasure, being honest with people and not being controlled by pharmaceutical companies. It may seem like a utopia, but it's my opinion.
