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?

Green & Equal cities
I imagine a future with fewer cars, less pollution, and less noise. With more trees, comfortable pedestrian streets, and accessible to everyone (people with disabilities). As for technology, it would be a vital element of life. Some of us would feel benefited, but some others will not.

Back to family’s safety
People will get back to the closest members of their family and community. They will be exhausted of the working, financial, and technological changes and isolation of the previous decades and will get back to their roots to find their sentimental balance and happiness. This turn is up to citizens’ will and I feel that the dead end will face in the following years 2025-2030, will make people to decide what they are willing to do, in order to survive as species.

Static & Virtual lives
Although "Time" will be the only constant between the present and the future, the sense of it will definitely change. Automation and VR will transform and fasten our experiences on multiple levels. Probably our ability to move and travel will be restricted due to climate change, viruses, etc but our eyes will be able to see more 'things', watch faster, and explore farther, places and dimensions never existed before. It will be like living simultaneously in a static physical world and an immersive/dynamic virtual one. What is real and what is not will be extremely hard to define.
