WHAT DOES LIVING IN 2030 FEEL LIKE?

-Flooded land is used to build windmill parks and Holland becomes a leader in green energy-Holland can educate/help the rest of world with its decades of water-fighting knowledge and technology

TECHNOLOGIC AND SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPMENT

People live in shared living situations. Families share houses with other families due to the housing crisis. Houses are build with recycled products .Only a few original houses are left standing

LIVING

WORK

Everyone helps to rebuild the economyPeople are motivated and paid a citizen salary

Work and leisure become the same, people socialize through workWork is the most important thing, but people have the freedom to change jobs often.

WORK/ LEISURE

EDUCATION

There is primary educationHigher education is taught through work, more practical and applied (apprenticeships)

TRANSPORT AND TRAVELThere are no cars, people only travel by foot or bike. For larger distances, there are zero emission busses.People don’t travel to other countries, but through communication and virtual reality they can experience an illusion of being abroad.

SOCIETY

Big brother feelingGlobal communityControl over society to create well-being ( no actions can negatively effect others)Everyone is aware of big brother (no secrets)

POLITICAL AND INSTITUTIONAL

ECOLOGICAL

BRANCHES OF POSSIBILITIES IN THE SCENARIO

HEALTHCARE AND MEDICAL NEEDS

Big priority, after natural disasters there are many ongoing illnesses and sick and injured peopleWell being is the top priority and everything is done to achieve this

The economy and infrastructure is being rebuild so labour and construction priority.Sought after occupations are trades

CONSTRUCTION/ENGINEERING AND PLUMBING

Logistics, organizational systems and communication become vital in a world where a one-world Government rules, where there is overpopulation and scarce resources

LOGISTICS/ ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS

FOOD

Distribution of rationed boxes of food. People eat in groups and value the experience

WHAT WILL THE NEEDS BE IN 2030?

BORDERLESS COMMUNICATION

Becomes very important in a world ruled by one government.

Government has put in place virtual interface and reality serviceCreating well-being trough escapismBetter well being trough fake realitiesFantasies and dreams can come true without harming anyone else

VIRTUAL INTERFACES/MULTISENSUAL PRODUCTS

PrivacyBecause of overpopulation and shared living situations, privacy becomes a problem

Getting the most out of materials, waste is turned into new products.Business with great knowledge and technology on how goods can be recycled are much needed.In the world of scarce resourses, creativity is valued

RECYCLING SERVICES

HOW ARE OUR RELATIONSHIPS TO PRODUCTS

DEPENDENCY CREATES LONG-LASTING RELATIONSHIPS TO PRODUCTSAs the climate makes sure you are always on guard your product can be your savior -or not.The scarcity of materials and production makes you treasure and maintain the products you have.

PRODUCT BRANCHES IN 2030

Products that provide functional communal activitiesCommunication (informed world)Products that enhance work-experience/environmentVisual communication (manuals)Products for construction-workHygieneProducts to enhance space (living space)Products to provide privacyTravel simulation (short distances become long)Fantasy simulator (parks)Logistics of organizationNew world surviving products
