The non-administration: how digital everything finally got rid of paper and admin

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

Life in 2040 is super digital, and all the public services are as simple as using Uber in 2021.

In fact, the system is so supportive that anyone can immediately receive its social benefits, get a certificate and file taxes in a click.
Since everything is interconnected digitally and we pay with digital payment means, professions such as notary, accountant and most administrative tasks disappeared because they are now irrelevant.

Any sort of paper trail, back and forth of documents and admin process is made a thing of the past.

Public services are becoming as good as private ones since they now use the same philosophy. They fire civil servants who do not perform, understand their user's needs, and make sure that they deliver a top of line functioning service.

People have started to accept that administrations are actually there to help them live a better life, and they don't feel anymore like kids in front of a teacher. This brings calm and orders to society since no one can complain anymore about being left out.

Society starts to transition from a notion of elite leaders to meritocratic leaders. We hire the President like we do a CEO. If he does perform, he is pushed out.

Thanks to big data and analysis, we can measure the degree of confidence and foresight between the declarations of public figures and how accurate they were. The ones who consistently miss the mark and whose predictions are wrong - disappear from public life. The same happens for newspapers and journalists who do not make accurate predictions or whose opinions are not matching reality. They end up working for fiction newspapers and are barred from accessing any "non-fiction" news outlets.

What we have in Commons

Anonymous

Ideally that future would focus primarily on community. As we move towards the future, our interests in fostering community are getting smaller and smaller. Even though it might seem trivial, it seems to me that many issues we face today can be handled through building strong community links at local levels and then expanding outwards. Individualistic societies have not provided us with the tools to look at huge global problems -- like climate change, the refugee/migrant crisis, job precarity and many more-- and be able to tackle them. Once we start looking inwardly and then to those closest to us can we then start taking care of each other. Building local, sustainable and adaptable practices will lead to better understanding of global issues and instead of inhibiting our futures, we can nurture ourselves, our culture, our future. It's 2040 and you can rely on both yourself and you community to work together by participating equitably in creating a commons that does not operate under utopic ideals but rather faces challenges realistically, operates on a basis of accountability and supports its community members.

Belonging

Anonymous

I imagine that by 2040 everyone will feel free to be themselves without the fear of rejection or fear for their personal safety/security. Everyone will have a sense of belonging in the society and will not be excluded due to their ethnicity, sexual orientation or appearance.

Work-life balance at last

Anonymous

I imagine a future that is more relaxed in terms of work conditions and finding a balance with daily family necessities. Having more time with the family, going on trips, not needing to stress about financials.
