Europe 2050 – by Jesper Mucke

Europe 2050-Explained from Athena to Dublin My journey through Europe 2050 starts in Athena. The Greece Economy, when we want to use this outdated thermology, is doing great since we stopped fighting each other and realized we need to work together in Europe. There are No advantages for Europe in fighting each other for competition advantages. We need to work together to create competition advantages for Europe as a whole. Therefore, Germany had to change his politics dramatically. To start my journey, I take the free electric public transport to the main station. like it’s possible everywhere in Europe. At the train Station I take the euro-loop, a magnetic highspeed train network throughout Europe, so nobody needs to fly inside of Europe, and destroy the climate. In the train, I answered a couple of government questions on my phone. The Government uses it to get an impression about the public opinion. The results are not definite except there is an 80% majority. After 1 hour I changed Trains in Zagreb The Capital of social and economic studies in the world. In the EU founded institutes, the most important questions about society get answered. And for the first time, somebody understands capitalism completely. We need to understand society to change it and make it work for everybody. Shortly later I arrived in Brussels Europe’s Center of Power. There is the Commission which is, the government and completely separated from the Parliament, the most powerful parliament in the World. Decisions in the parliament are definite for everybody and just the European court of justice can overturn them. But what makes the Eu institutions really special is the Peoples Council where 50 randomly selected People from across Europe to come together for 2 Years to discuss the fundamental questions about the future of Europe. My train ride continues to London, where I met a former classmate of mine who is a teacher today. He is doing an exchange with his class like every student is doing it at least twice during his school life. This should create a European identity and show that we are all humans who need to work together. The final chapter of my journey is from London to the beautiful town of Dublin. Since we see Europe as a hole the tax competition between the countries stopped. Every tax is ending up in the European budget so there are no advantages to lower the taxes in single countries. The taxes are distributed to the Countries depending on population and where they are needed the most. The EU itself founds the cross country infrastructure, the Army, Europol, a European Health Care system, an EU-pension and a basic income. To found this there is a capital tax, financial transaction tax and a roboteer tax. This all works because the EU works together and every profit that is made in Europe needs to be taxed in Europe.

 

I believe in humanity – by Anna Nikolashvily

I may seem to be a pessimist, but these days I often think about our future and I am afraid that people, despite the rapid development, will not be humans any more. There will be no one to give you a hand when you are in need, there will be no one to support you. People may become lonely being surrounded by other “humans”.

We have millions of possibilities to make Europe of future better. Let’s not fail!

I am not a qualified scientist. I am not going to describe the world of future as in “The Fifth Element”. I am not a writer to make up a fairy tale about “Magic Europe of 2050”. I am just an 18-year-old student who explores this world and wants to try make people think about us and our descendants. Our world is developing too fast: new technologies, inventions, breakthroughs. And Europe, being the centre of the progress, is attractive to be the centre of my essay. The future is always associated with progress. However, we should not forget that progress may lead to some negative consequences. People will forget to think. Intellection is that small but significant part which distinguishes people from animals. Nowadays you may not know when, for example, Shakespeare was born. It is enough to check this information in Google and… forget. The rapid development of technology can cause computer systems being smarter than all mankind in 2050. People will not communicate directly with each other. Social networks are becoming an ocean of “fake” people. We are gradually losing our personalities and our feelings are paled by the screens of our phones. People will stop working. WALL-E was just a robot in the cartoon when I was 8, but now it is real. Hundreds of robots which can perform thousands of functions are invented every day. Who knows, maybe in 2050 they will occupy all work positions. These theses lead to my final message – People will stop being HUMANS. We may state that only people are able to think, work, communicate, create, feel. I am afraid we may lose it by 2050. A person will not think – a computer will in turn. A person will not work – robots will in turn. A person will not communicate and feel – one will just push necessary buttons in turn. You may say I am a pessimist. I am not. I am utterly terrified that there will be no HUMANS left in 30 years. Possibly, I was expected to describe the world of future in Europe with medicine which can cure any disease, machines which can do anything, with society which does not know words “war” or ”poverty”. I hope 2050 will be just like that. It’s up to us to make Europe of future better. We must not fail. Let’s make Europe of 2050 a fairy place to live in.

 

My vision of Europe in 2050 – by Kate Piskovaya

Half a century ago people could not even imagine those things nowadays are objects of everyday use. Twenty years ago, there were a lot of troubles to connect to the Internet or even to send a letter. A video camera or a laptop was a luxury and the phone was about the size of a brick. But nowadays, all main functions are performed by a small pocket gadget called smartphone. All discoveries and innovations made by people over the past decades have been quickly accepted by society and now are a part of everyday life. They have greatly changed and improved some things in all spheres of our life. Europe is actively fighting for equality, so that in the near future there can be a complete eradication of discrimination in society. People will be able to easily express their thoughts, preferences and tastes. A large number of scientific discoveries already helps to simplify the life and work of an ordinary average person. The process of production automation is already underway, but perhaps in the future, smart machines will be able to replace people, who do simple intellectual work. It will simplify production and reduce the number of mistakes, by eliminating the human factor. It will be much easier to search for criminals, since working with evidence and other difficulties will be a thing of the past. This will be replaced by a real breakthrough in science – creation a portrait of a person from his DNA. Perhaps this could significantly reduce the percentage of crimes in Europe and help to fight them effectively. Today, computers are an integral part of our lives and by 2050 scientists will be able to unite the human brain with them. In the economic sphere changes also must be occurred. It’s possible that the currency will be centralized, and only the most stable will remain. Despite the fact, that many changes will occur, nothing can replace most types of human labor. Every discovery, innovation or technology must be used wisely. Nothing can replace human brain.

Europe in 2050 – by Marina Stepanenko & Nikita Saenko

Hello everyone, people from 2050y are writing to you now. Do you wonder what our life is like now? We decided to send you a letter from the future, because more recently, young and inexperienced in 2019, a novice scientist from Germany, Fredrik Muller, invented a time machine. For the beginning, it would be desirable to tell: our life became much easier after one physicist from the Great Britain has invented the engine which allows to process a solar power in mechanical. In consequence, cars began to work unassisted fuel that has led to elimination of a problem of ecology, with which you, our ancestors, struggle at the moment. To study in educational establishments became more interestingly and more quickly after reform of formation which have approved in 2039 year, namely: we have departed from the out-of-date adaptations and have entered all-new procedures of training which have allowed to reduce time of reception of a full average and higher education in the sum till 10 years. There was a possibility to be trained by means of glasses of a virtual reality which provide such companies as Apple, Google, Samsung and Lenovo. Projects of a different degree of complexity are carried out owing to special manual touch holographic projectors. During unexpected deficiency of foodstuff in 2028 year, community of the French chemists, after long attempts to solve this problem, have surprised the world with the opening. They have deduced the formula of such substance which has allowed to accelerate growth of plants in one thousand times, such as: wheat, a potato, an onions and so on. Legislations of many countries provide realization of change of some vital bodies to the certain age for that what to increase life expectancy of the population. Above artificial cultivation of these bodies work in the best laboratories of the Great Britain, Italy and Sweden. At the moment the quantity of the poor countries in the world was reduced, as in 2032 year the European Union has approved the project according to which more than 30 countries of the world were united for fund raising which have gone on progress of these poorest states. In current of 18 years of the EU country and not only would work for that that these peoples have felt support and the help in the side. In consequence, many factories that has enabled people to work and provide itself with all necessary have opened. On all territory of the European Union private enterprises on processing garbage began to appear. They became both one of resources of power supply of cities, and the factor of reduction of unemployment. It is necessary to tell, that all equipment has been provided by German engineers who shared the conclusive experience with other countries. The especial technology of processing which does not give in to publicity, allows to limit at the most emissions in an atmosphere. The quantity of necessary work on the raised risk of danger has decreased. On such seats as: mines, chemical combines, construction of strategically important objects and colleges of genic engineering have been widespread special robots with a possibility of a controllable artificial intellect. Introduction of robots in human life has allowed to refuse such trades, as servants, yard keepers, cleaners and so forth. In additives, there were hearings, that physicists from Czech Republic have denied, apparently, an indisputable fact of that the perpetual motion machine can`t exist, having invented it. They yet did not give the official information and refuse to give any comments and interview. Whether you can believe what some years all the countries of the world do not carry out any military actions aside each other? In 2045 year on February, 10th at Peace conference the certificate about full refusal of manufacture of the weapon for a definite period has been signed. As the initiator the known political scientist from the Netherlands Vladimir Platonov who immigrated to Rotterdam in 2021 year has acted. Well, here such Europe waits for you in 2050 year. It would be desirable to tell, that we live during extremely fine time without illnesses, famine and unemployments. We have constructed the world in which it would be desirable to live, love, breathe a full breast and to be happy. In which it is not terrible to raise children and to experience for their light future. As our ancestors spoke: « the Europe in each of us. And we are proud this proud rank « the European » ».

 

Vision of Europe in 2050! – by Zlatko Mesic

Vision in Europe 2050! Anja: Six years ago, Croatia has become a member of the European union. Teenagers see great positive change and advantages of the membership, and we believe that the whole Europe will unite by the year 2050, along with countries on other continents such as the Americas, Asia, and Africa. We believe that this would bring great prosperity to all mankind regarding finances, culture, healthcare, and all other aspects of modern life. Morena: By the year 2050, I believe in great breakthroughs in medicine and I think we will find a cure for mortality. Miniature nanobots inside our bodies will monitor our health and react instantly to a disease, resulting in doctors being substituted by computers.2050. Artificial intelligence will become so advanced that we will be able to talk to emotional robots. In 2050 the new future of energy in Europe will begin because fusion will grant us clean energy without radioactive waste and CO2 emissions. This will end global warming and resolve the issue of pollution and access to drinking water. In modern education, by 2050 teachers will be substituted by a European team of „hologram-teachers“ who will show all the secrets of the trade in an interesting and modern way. Veronika tekst • The world is full of complex events with great number of unknown variables. From weather forecasts to stock market fluctuations, mankind has been somewhat unsuccessful in predicting the outcomes. Although human algorhythms may predict long-term trends, daily events, such as whether there would be rain or not, are often predicted as precisely as rolling the dice. Neural networks based on advanced technology would likely far outperform any human in this, and many other fields. That is why I can’t wait for 2050 so I can enjoy my predictions.
