Yhtenäisempi Eurooppa

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

The war in Ukraine awakened the European state to understand the importance of unity and the speed and fluidity of decision-making. The Member States of the European Union stopped concentrating on obtaining benefits only for their own countries and began to devote their energies to the development of the well-being of Europe as a whole. After Russia lost the war in Ukraine, Russia had to compensate Ukraine for the damage it had caused, and one of the conditions was also to change the governance model from a dictatorship to a democracy. With the change of power, our own citizens began to demand a different policy based on cooperation with the European Union. The process proved to be slow, but with the gradual departure of Soviet leaders, significant progress has already been made by 2040. Advances in renewable energy technologies have made Europe not only completely free of fossil energy, but also self-sufficient. Artificial intelligence has been harnessed for several positive projects, including automatic speech interpretation, where a small microchip allows a person to hear the speech of a person speaking a foreign language in real time in his or her own language and he or she can respond in his or her own language, as the interlocutor also immediately receives interpretation into his or her own language. This technology has helped the immigrant population to integrate into society and find employment.

Er Danmark som på mine bedsteforældres tid
A 2040 where different peoples have returned to their place of origin. A Denmark, a Europe without Islamist terror and crowds driven by asylum seekers. Knife attacks by rejected asylum seekers are no longer everyday news. A country where we live safely as when my grandparents were my age. Where we have money for welfare, where we have money for the elderly.

Cuando ya solo importemos nosotros.
In this year I would like that technology, artificial intelligence, robotics and neurisciences have made people's work unnecessary and that we can devote as much time as possible in human relationships, without the conditioning of money. That society be free and that freedom be respected and respected by all human beings.

2040 : this figure seems a long way off, but it is only 15 years from now! What were we doing 15 years ago: in 2010? Between that date and today there is more talk about artificial intelligence, climate, electric cars. In 15 years, will we have made more effort to green our cities and build buildings that are consistent with the climate? It seems difficult to change people’s mindsets – especially when new buildings emerge from the ground without heat and cold insulation systems! I must say that I hope that humans will act faster and less slow down because there is no profit. I dream of plants in places where trees were torn off a few years ago in favor of slabs, etc. I dream of rechargeable and non-disposable batteries that will pollute the planet even more I dream of a decent income for everyone, and a decent roof. I dream of a humanity that respects others on all levels.

Minu linn ja selle elanikud
In 2040, my hometown and its inhabitants have changed. It has been concluded that screen addiction is still a serious addiction and there are more and more active attempts to move out of the online world in everyday activities. More community events and hobby groups are taking place, which has led to an increased interest in well-organised public spaces, and more and more sports and playgrounds are being built in the city, as well as opportunities to spend time indoors together, especially during cooler weather. It's a rare thing on the street that someone is on the phone. Residents increasingly value high-quality urban space and many cycle tracks and roads have been built. Sustainability is an important value - repair workshops and handicraft circles are a common phenomenon, clothes are preferred to be bought second-hand or made by themselves. There is no more separate packaging-free or "best before" grocery stores, but as a normal part of chain stores, there is as much packaging-free trading as possible, and there is a separate aisle for things that lose their shelf life. It has become normal to travel by bus, bicycle or foot, because the transport connections are very good, and in winter, light traffic can be reached everywhere, walking and cycling paths are opened first. There are essentially no vacant or unmaintained plots of land in the heart of the city and adjacent areas - as many historical sites as possible have been restored, unused sites have been taken into use. Priority will be given to densely populated areas and their bonuses. The banks of the Emajõgi River are in order and it is possible to walk along them for a long time throughout the city. The community is confident and warm, those in need always find support and are interested in each other's well-being even when they don't really know each other.
