Morning 2050
The sun slowly weaves over the panorama of Riga, reflecting against glass domes that cover a large part of the city. Artificial intelligence has already awakened Ilze, adjusted room temperature and prepared a morning drink, an energy cocktail adapted to her needs today.

After 2025, the world changed rapidly. Climate change made people act quickly – cities were adapted to use only renewable energy sources, while cars with internal combustion engines have long become museum exhibits. Society was also undergoing changes: universal basic income and a short-time work week allowed people to focus on creativity, education and science, and not just on survival.

Ilze opens her smart glasses and examines the latest information on her scientific project – she is working on a new type of vertical farming system that could address food insecurity in other regions of the world. She doesn’t need to work in the office – her team of people and artificial intelligence collaborates virtually.

Afternoon - Trip to Mars Station
Ilze spends lunch with his friend Arthur, who returned from the Mars Colony, where he helped build the infrastructure there for the past six months. Interstellar travel is still not available to everyone, but Mars' missions have become a routine. Arthur tells about new ecological modules that allow the colony to be completely self-sufficient.

Evening - calm and tech
During the evening, Ilze takes a walk through green Riga – the city has become a living ecosystem where the walls of buildings are covered with plants, while the streets are adapted for pedestrians and cyclists. There is no pollution in the city air, because the entire industry is carried out in closed, self-cleaning premises or outside the Earth.

Before going to bed, Ilze reviews the events of the day, meditates and allows her artificial assistant to adjust the activities of the next day. The world is much different in 2050 than in 2025 – people have finally solved many global challenges and learned to live in harmony with nature and technology.

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

Energoefektivitāte
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.
