Electric cars are used for long-distance travel, since they are ecological. Almost everyone in our neighbourhood has an electric car or a car that runs on hydrogen. Charging stations are located all around the country without any long gaps between them, but it is particularly easy to find them in the cities. Myself, I often use our excellent public transportation system, which also runs on electricity and has been built above the city, to move from place to place, for example to my workplace and hobbies.

New innovations and ideas are clearly visible around me as I enjoy a happy summer day in 2040. First of all, I could be spending it almost anywhere, because technological advances and a higher standard of living make moving from one place to another easy, fast and affordable. This has also been influenced by the inevitable change in the culture of ownership: in an era of rapid development, owning personal vehicles does not make sense, and mobility is based on efficient public transportation as well as rental, autonomous vehicles. Thanks to the high degree of utilization and collective funding, we have been able to make a fairly good investment into them. Free movement, of course, gives individuals better and more extensive opportunities to follow their motivations.

The fear of jobs being lost as the result of technological advancement is currently a hot topic, and it is unlikely to disappear in the future.

However, many of these jobs will require a whole new set of skills that not many of those who have lost their jobs might have.

The people I pass while jogging pop up on my smart watch display one after another. Once I am done, I decide to check if a red-haired woman I passed was my children’s kindergarten teacher. A red-haired woman with the name Elisa Saari appears on the screen. The smart watch tells me “you passed Elisa Saari while jogging today at 12:30 pm at Hakaniemenranta. Would you like to know more about Elisa Saari or contact her?” I request more information, and the smart watch continues: “Elisa Saari is 45 years old and lives in Helsinki, Finland. She is in a relationship with Raimo Heikkinen. She works as a day care nurse in Helsinki.” Yes, the woman I passed was my children’s kindergarten teacher.

The perfect technological environment, and the place where I would like to live, would be one where everyone could afford the technology they want, and the technology would be easy to use and safe for everyone. This would allow us to diversify people's ideas about the world and life. This would make life easier for me, and probably others as well – for example, if everyone had a basic technological device such as a phone that can be used to search for information. It would reduce our prejudices about other people.

But the good availability of new devices and systems can lead to their abuse, which is difficult to prevent. Extreme thinking could also gain strength, which is a bad thing. However, I do think that there is more good than bad in my technological environment.

Then, for some reason, I begin to think about the days when technology was not at such an advanced level. I used to think that life was simple.

Travelling has become quite easy. Both private cars and mass transit systems have lost their popularity years ago. I order an automated car in advance, using my wristband. Today, traffic mostly consists of self-driving taxi vehicles that intelligently combine the routes of their passengers. Effortless travel is the infrastructure for innovation. It has made entrepreneurship easier, and more and more people are making their living as entrepreneurs.

When my ride arrives, I just step in and sit down. Travelling is free of charge, as the ability to move from one place to another is a fundamental right and a common need. The state uses tax revenue to cover the costs. The car is not locally supervised by staff, so it is a little worrying to just sit with the other passengers. However, as a passenger, I am not left to my own devices, as disturbances are automatically dealt with and the car will automatically call in a guard if the situation escalates.

When the car reaches my destination, it leaves me directly in front of the restaurant. Traffic in the city centre is busy but almost completely silent. Traffic lights are no longer needed, as the automatic cars communicate with each other and also stop automatically if a pedestrian wants to cross the street at any point.
