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?

In 2040, I would like to see a world where the balance between technology, the environment and human well-being is finally achieved. Here is my vision for a better future: 1. Technology at the service of humanity •Ethical artificial intelligence: AI is designed to improve everyday life, reduce inequalities and solve complex problems, without threatening jobs or privacy. •Increased health: Serious diseases such as cancer or Alzheimer's have become manageable thanks to advanced medical technologies, accessible to all. •Universal and immersive education: Tools such as virtual reality enable every individual, wherever they are, to access quality education. 2. A restored and preserved environment •**

Green peaceful life.
In 2040, I imagine a Europe that has fully embraced sustainability, inclusivity, and technological harmony. The specific issue I envision being transformed is climate resilience and sustainable living. In this future, Europe leads the world in creating a circular economy. Every city and town is powered by 100% renewable energy—solar farms, offshore wind turbines, and advanced fusion reactors meet all energy demands. Homes are designed with green roofs, vertical gardens, and bioengineered materials that absorb carbon. Waste is a thing of the past, as all products are designed to be reused, repaired, or recycled into new resources.Transportation has evolved into a seamless, eco-friendly network. Self-driving electric buses, hyperloop trains, and shared e-bikes make personal car ownership unnecessary. Roads are quieter, air is cleaner, and wildlife flourishes even in urban areas, as cities have integrated green corridors and natural habitats into their infrastructure.In schools, environmental education is at the heart of every curriculum, teaching young people how to live sustainably, innovate responsibly, and care for the planet. Communities are empowered to shape their environments through participatory democracy, using AI tools to simulate and plan the outcomes of local decisions.Moreover, this future Europe has bridged social divides. Clean energy and sustainable resources have made life more affordable for everyone, reducing inequality. Universal basic income, funded by efficient economies and technological advancements, ensures that every citizen has the freedom to pursue meaningful work, creativity, or lifelong learning.In 2040, the European Union's collaborative spirit extends beyond its borders, sharing knowledge and technology to help the entire world address climate change. Global solidarity has replaced competition, making the planet a healthier, fairer place for all. This future isn’t utopian; it’s achievable with collective effort, bold policies, and a shared vision for a better tomorrow. It’s a Europe where we’ve learned from the past and built a future we’re proud to call home

Il futuro che vorrei fosse la normalità
I wake up in 2040, it's a Tuesday. I'm getting ready to go to work. It is the first day of the 4 that make up the working week. I have breakfast calmly, for the sake of making it, not for the necessary intake of nutrients that are automatically already well balanced by the meal created ad hoc for my specific needs by 'manufacturer.i go to work with my medium non-polluting and safe to 98% in the meantime I update on the most important news just the time to be operational. Work is not heavy, companies and unions have worked during the previous 10 years to minimize work stress and optimize the time and energy of the worker balancing the need for individual well-being. Great because if you work well you can enjoy more time with family or friends maybe with a walk outdoors, in a planet less and less dependent on CO2 emissions and that has almost stopped global warming

Minulla on aikaa
In 2040 I would have time for my children and grandchildren. I'm not quite retired yet, so of course I'm working. I work 7 hours a day five days a week. I have time to focus and focus on my work. I can do my job as well as I want. After work, I have time to take care of myself and my loved ones. I also have time to volunteer. And time to rest. I sleep well at night and wake up refreshed in the morning.
