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.

Jedan radni dan
I was woken up by a personal alarm clock with fresh coffee and baked bread. After a sonic bath, I wore nano-fiber clothes that measured my vital signs for an electronic doctor. A flying taxi and today's digital newspaper were waiting for me at the entrance. In the office, the robot secretary sorted the mail. She immediately started dictating letters and sending them to certain addresses that I chose.

La simplicité et le respect en 2040
In 2040, life is peaceful in Europe, everyone smiles, there is no aggression in any country. If there are problems between people, there will be people who will be responsible for resolving problems amicably, and everything will be simple. There will be freedom of expression, respect for everyone's ideas.

Natuur
I wish by then there would be more nature. That it is forbidden to lay front gardens in stones, that people who have a house and garden should provide more greenery. That a forest, a park is within walking or cycling distance. That the car is more banded from the cities, but can still get a place on the outskirts of the city. That there are so free buses or cheap public transport that runs to the city. So that people also seek more connection with nature, go for a walk and only have the benefits of nature.

Une France aux français
Laws have changed and hardened. Not all people born in France are automatically French. They take the nationality of their great-grandparents, and also all the descendants, which reduces the population of foreigners and let the French live in their country quietly and without fear, or to be raped, robbed or assaulted. Life would be more peaceful, the streets would become clean again, the people polite. All acts of incivility are punished, such as coughing without putting your hand, or throwing waste on the floor, buying in bulk or bringing back containers, which would reduce waste.
