Simple, but happy.

After almost two decades of wars, climate crisis, pandemic and economic crisis, there will be new arising of hope and togetherness. Society will be changed deeply: new forms of community, more co-living, transformed family structures, less urban agglomerates, back to a somewhat simpler but happier life. There will be more sharing of goods, spaces and "belongings" instead of consumerisms and individualism. There. will be a stronger connection, a re-connecting to core values and the sense to work and live not for economic growth, but emotional and spiritual growth. It will no longer be a narrative of "giving up" something but go "gaining" new things, when talking about how less is more... Changing the way how we live in communities impacts how we shape society on a political, ethical, societal level. Change comes from below.

Tempo per la famiglia
It's 2040. Today parents work only half a day, when their children are at school, and spend the rest of the day with them. They have finally acquired the right to form a family and to live it in balance with their work. Their children will enjoy the time that their parents were not allowed because of a wrong development pattern that has finally been erased.

Life is comfortable - children have reached upper secondary school age and live at home only on weekends. Quietly independent. It is good to look at the children's independence and remember the kma youth rush. Life has moved away from social media. Real communication is once again important because online life tends to remain in the background. Direct communication is valued and technology plays a routine role in our lives, doing data analytics and most of the ‘excel-based work’ for us. The creative part is our end to do

I want to think in the future not only about vision, but as much as possible to fulfil it and how it will affect people of all layers, not only the rich. Thinking of the CO2 and energy sectors does not steer blindly in the same direction, but leaves people a choice. There are internal combustion engine cars available that are not oppressed and are not imposed and lobbied by electric cars, as the salvation of the planet. In the production of electricity, modern electric power reactors are being built that are capable of producing the necessary electricity efficiently.

It's hard to predict what the future might be like in today's world, but I hope that thanks to science, technology, business and charismatic and intelligent heads of state, European and American states will prosper, recovering from the 2022-2027 political strife, military conflicts, armaments and tensions over the threat of attack. I believe that countries will live in the "golden age" of scientific progress and economics.
