In a future where blockchain technology is the norm, document and file management will undergo a radical transformation. All physical documents, whether contracts, diplomas, certificates of ownership or even simple invoices, will be converted into NFT (non-fungible tokens). This will almost entirely eliminate the use of paper, reducing waste and the environmental footprint of administrations and businesses.

Each document will exist in a unique, secure and tamper-proof form on the blockchain, guaranteeing its authenticity and history of changes. No more losses, falsifications or omissions of important documents: a simple digital access will be enough to instantly find all his personal, professional and administrative information.

Governments, banks and businesses will no longer need to request copies or paper evidence. Through encrypted and controlled access, they will be able to directly verify the existence and validity of a document via a public or private register. This transparency will simplify procedures and significantly reduce bureaucracy.

With this digital revolution, paperwork will be a thing of the past. The future will be fluid, instantaneous and environmentally friendly, where each individual will own a digital wallet containing not only their financial assets, but also all their proofs of existence and ownership, secured forever on the blockchain.

Schöne, neue Welt
We live in harmony with nature, food is produced regionally, in good quality and with respect for plants and animals. Spending time together is valuable, but we also respect boundaries and individualism. Long-distance travel is not very important; we appreciate the beauty of our immediate surroundings. It doesn't matter how much someone has, only whether they are happy and make a contribution to society.

Drošība un stabilitāte
It's 2040, I feel safe in Europe, I can travel safely and it's safe to be in my own country, Life is so good because I don't have to worry about any riots or wars. Financial stability finally gives you the opportunity to live like a normal person, who doesn't have to live on potatoes for two weeks until the next salary, which will only be enough to pay the bills or feed the children.

tulevaisuuteni vuonna 2040
In 2040, I imagine that the world will have changed significantly. Technological advances have brought smart cities, using advanced intelligent systems to manage traffic. Cars will drive themselves, and public transport will be fast and environmentally friendly. Energy production is based entirely on renewable sources, such as solar and wind power, which has significantly reduced carbon emissions. People's lifestyles have also changed. Health care is more personalised and technology can be used to anticipate illness before it occurs. Food culture has diversified, with vegetarian diets becoming increasingly popular. Community is important and people are spending more time outdoors in nature, which has improved well-being. All in all, the future looks promising and I hope it will bring peace and sustainable development.

Junalla vaikka mihin
It would be another weekend ahead. We could visit Berlin again. Or maybe Munich. It's so convenient these days, though, to be able to get all over Europe on high-speed trains. In the past, you had to fly or spend hours on boats to get from one place to another. Now, with tunnels and bridges and high-speed railways and trains from Turku to Stockholm and Helsinki to Tallinn, you can get to central Europe and beyond in a few hours.
