Scientific research as a hub for the future's needs

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In my desired future, science would become the cornerstone of the EU budget. With a better scientific knowledge of the world around us, Europe would drive good reforms not only in the primary and the secondary sectors of our economies, but also in health and education. In the primary and secondary sectors, it would allow us to become more competitive by taking advantage of our already great potential for developing high-level technologies in comparison to other regions. This way, the EU would become more efficient in every economic activity (which also means less environmental impact) and, also, more strategically independent. In health, quality of life for our elders would be increased, hopefully to the point of partially preventing aging. By achieving this, people would remain socially and workwise functional for more years. Apart from the inherent personal and social direct advantages, this would avoid the long-term budget crisis that lots of European states can face as their populations get older. As for education, pedagogy and psychology, helped by new technologies, would guide the adequate reforms, adapted to each country, that prepared the youth to become highly skilled, global citizens. Having this kind of citizens would, in turn, boost the EU economy (through increased adaptive enterpreneurship) and also the quality of its political aspect: it would promote critical attitudes and a proactive citizenship.

Life will certainly change significantly in the next 20 years. Machines will become even more a part of everyday life - smart, intelligent devices that will hopefully make our lives easier. Hopefully, we will find solutions to many of the problems we cannot cope with today, such as hunger, poverty. I hope that our planet will still be habitable and that the necessary resources will be available.

O consumo de plástico
We use less and less plastic in our daily lives. There are exorbitant fees for companies that use and produce plastic and consumers are also charged additional fees for opting for this type of material. Consumers are becoming more careful. Children's toys are increasingly made of wood. Cloth bags and bulk food are being sold, there's no more plastic. Cardboard, boxes, glass jars and cloth bags are used in everyday life. People also regularly clean their homes and remove all possible elements containing plastic. Fast fashion is no longer fashionable. Nowadays, fast fashion stores have higher prices and people are starting to value cotton and linen more, both for clothes and home textiles. Some say that the air, including the air we breathe indoors, has improved, as even furniture is now made from 100% wood or close to it and there is less and less plastic in its production. The future is bright.
