I imagine that everything is digitized and done by robots. As human beings, we have a very comfortable life. At the same time, however, we are competently monitored. All our data is readable and usable by appropriate bodies such as authorities, health insurance companies (if they still exist), banks. The glass man. There is only work in the field of programming, if not done by the self-recognizing AI. I can almost no longer imagine money as a means of payment in this society. The environment is in a condition that we can only live in extra buildings. Education in school will be different from what I have experienced, adapted to the new insights and conditions. These are my thoughts. I would like to travel the world with my boat and see the most idyllic places and live there until I want to continue. However, this requires some conditions, such as an intact environment.

I discuss the weekly program with my computer and we decide to go on a round trip during the week and play the best golf courses in the area. While I am at the breakfast table, which is also a screen, still assembling the utensils that the robot should bring out of the box and pack for me, the car is already supplied by the computer with the necessary routes and the cargo, the computer reserves for me the accommodations and the leisure activities. While driving, the car drives me independently to the destination, I can look at the world news in peace and browse the culinary offer of my destinations, check the hotel reservations of my computer and maybe change. Particularly important are the reservations of the flying, self-controlled helicopters, which let me "fly" and explore the area. I'm sure I'll get information on which of my friends and acquaintances are nearby. This will be a great week for sure!

Un futur libre et heureux ou chacun respecte l autre , respecte la nature , son environnement les biens . Ou l on développera encore la technologie.. la conquête de l espace , on marchera sur mars grâce à une collaboration mondiale . Ou mon fils sera heureux , épanoui, se souviendra avec joie de son enfance et de ses parents

Enkelt! Slut på krigen i Ukraina, Gaza, Syd Sudan, Kongo Kinshasa. " Topp 1000" de rikaste personer på vår jord, har blivit tvungna att "lämna över" 98 % av sin förmögenhet till en fond som fördelar deras förmögenhet till den tredjedel av jordens befolkning som är fattigast!

År 2040, om 15 år, har världen hittat en stabilitet inom fredsområdet. Både inom och utom Europa samarbetar man för att inga områden längre ska hotas av krig. Parallellt med detta har världens alla länder tagit krafttag för att påverka jordens klimat och miljö i rätt riktning. En riktning som inte enbart styrs med ekonomiska intressen i förgrunden. Inom Sveriges egna gränser får välfärdssamhället för första gången på flera decennier ett uppsving, så att inte bara anslag ökas, utan även att kvaliten inom verksamheterna blir bättre genom kloka beslut. Människors tro på framtiden stärks och oberoende undersökningar att jorden går åt rätt håll.

I 2040 har landene/politikerne besluttet sig at samarbejde på på tværs af lande og politiske partier. De har indset at kun en samlet insats kan rede klimaforandringerne og rette op på skaderne efter forskellige krige. Landene der før var u-lande klare sig bedre end de andre, de har hurtigere og bedre har indrettet deres liv. På grund af der ikke flere krige og at ulandene klarer sig godt, er der meget få flygtninge. Der er skabt en bedre balance mellem arbejde og fritid, dette har gjort at fertiliteten er steget. Reguleringerne af de sociale medier har gjort at internet er faldet og dermed er og indtjeningen faldet.

People in Latvia have never lived as well as they do now, we have real freedom and everyone has the opportunity to prove themselves in different fields. That is why I am very worried about the war in Ukraine and the fear of the world being redivided between two superpowers; my parents suffered the consequences of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and I do not want to see Pact No 2. That is why I hope that the European Union will be able to help Ukraine make a just peace, and that my Latvia will be an independent country within the European Union. Nobody in the world is eternal, and in 15 years' time I myself will have passed away, and many national leaders will have passed away, including Putin and Trump. Putin will die under mysterious circumstances, his associates will be tried at The Hague, Russia will pay reparations and compensate Ukraine for the damage it caused, Ukraine will have healed the wounds of war by 2040, old ruins will have been demolished, new cities will have been built - some on old ruins, some on other sites. In Latvia, the forests will grow green, as they do now, with cereals, rape, buckwheat and various vegetables. Finally, the nation will not be so divided into two camps, the Latvian language will have gained a stronger position. Russia will no longer threaten the Baltic States or other EU countries, because their people will know the truth. The priority of the countries will be the welfare of the people and the preservation of the environment, but not in such a drastic way as planned by the establishment. I would very much like to see the collection and disposal of waste sorted out, for countries to take care to remove waste islands from the oceans, to take care to preserve the diversity of plant and animal species. In Latvia, people will have better medical care, a better tax system and better pensions. Am I fantasising too much? I am 77 years old now and have seen a lot of good and, unfortunately, a lot of bad. I would like future generations to live in peace and under just laws, without harming other peoples, animals and nature.

In 2040, my child will be 19 years old and travelling in an increasingly borderless Europe, on a comprehensive and fast rail network around the world. From the train window, the budding forest planting projects, both in the cities and in the countryside, are flashing by. Grasslands have also already been mainly restored as meadows or forests. Solar panels and windmills flash on the horizon. Cities are home to an increasingly multicultural population whose existence is measured not by production value or income but by a happiness barometer.

First of all, I would wish for peace, no more wars. Diseases should be easier to cure, people should be able to live well without having to think about how to afford rent, electricity, gas and food. We should welcome immigrants who make an effort to adapt to our country, go to work and be grateful to live here. Criminals should be deported immediately to preserve our security. Cars should perhaps be able to drive themselves. The environment should improve so that our children and grandchildren have a better climate. Politicians should also take care of the average wage earner, because they have absolutely no idea how these people are constantly struggling to survive.

This world we hope for, I'd like it to be fairer, less cruel, that climatic events are less violent, that all peoples can have access to water and food without too many difficulties. That the sea doesn't submerge coastal cities and Pacific islands, and that temperatures don't continue to soar and melt glaciers and ice floes. We also hope that the world will live in peace, without the great powers having any desire for hegemony over neighboring countries. And that the rights of women and minorities be respected.

I wish/hope for better health and thus welfare in the future. It is both that there is better health and health care, ie both prevention and healing, as well as more information on what you can do yourself. The school system needs more 'practical' learning - about food, health, living conditions and welfare (psychological) etc. Working life must be rethought/restructured - utilization of AI - so that the work is distributed among those who can work, thus lower working hours and more flexibility with home workplace, possibly different job functions (eg: you are both head of one area, but assistant etc. in another) - more equality in working life and economy. Out with cars - free public transportation and better infrastructure as a result. Optimization of living conditions - e.g. healthy food is cheaper, unhealthy 'food' is more expensive, better exercise is less expensive (surely this requires subsidy schemes?) - so people are happier and have more surplus. changing housing types so there are more communities. Lots of dreams and most of it feels like utopia - unfortunately I don't believe any of this will have happened by 2024 (maybe something in the school system) - because governments focus more on money and prestige projects than the things people need most

In 2040, we live in a Europe where sustainability and community are at the heart of our society. Cities are green, with vertical forests and solar-powered transportation systems that have made polluted streets a thing of the past. Nature is integral to our lives and biodiversity thrives in both rural and urban environments. Science has made breakthroughs that have eradicated many diseases and we live healthier lives with a focus on prevention and well-being. Technology and artificial intelligence support us in our everyday lives, but without removing human contact - on the contrary, we have more time for each other. Europe is a model for the rest of the world, where cooperation between nations has created a stronger, fairer and more peaceful union. We have proven that innovation and solidarity can go hand in hand - and that the future is bright when we imagine it together.
