Life in my grandparents' time was very different from today. First of all, the pace of life was slower, and people had more direct contact with each other. There was no internet or cell phones, so communication was mainly based on letters, meetings and face-to-face conversations. Transportation was also less developed - trips took longer, and cars were a luxury available to few. Many people worked physically, and the technologies that make our lives easier today were still in their infancy.

Today we live in a world full of modern technologies that make life more convenient and efficient. Remote work, high-speed transportation and smart devices are just a few examples of the changes that have affected our daily lives. However, there have also been new challenges, such as excessive digitization and environmental problems.

In 20 years, life may look even different. We can expect further developments in technology, artificial intelligence and automation. Perhaps autonomous cars will become the norm, and work will become more flexible, allowing people to better combine work and private life. Also, medical developments may make us live longer and healthier lives. If we, as a society, pay more attention to ecology, our cities could become greener and more livable.

It is important to strive for a future in which technology serves humanity rather than restricting it. I hope that 20 years from now, people will be more aware and caring of their surroundings, which will benefit both individuals and entire communities.

Raggiungere l'immortalità

Utopia
We have a society where young people are free from the anxiety that characterised young people in 2025. There is still free education for everyone, it will. Our hospital system is more resourced and works more efficiently. It's enough time to take good care of the sick patients. The different therapists in the primary and secondary sector, as well as the municipal care staff, talk a lot and share information about the individual patient, so that no patient is lost in sectoral transitions or between therapists. It is a pleasure and a joy to live in a nursing home. There is peace in the world, and we no longer spend billions on war, gunpowder and bullets. We find that politicians who have really done something illegal are held accountable for their actions. For example, in the future they cannot be allowed to give orders for something where the legislation is not in place (think of the mink scandal under Covid). We can travel freely around the world without fear of political unrest, war and infection with serious diseases. All who can work, work according to their ability and contribute to society. There is no cheating on social funds. Corruption does not exist. Everyone has a fair standard of living. Workplaces are flexible in terms of making work/life balance work.

Zjednoczona Europa
It's 2040. Finally, Europe has become one, united State, in which there are no better or worse - every person has the right to shape his or her life in the best possible way. Borders have been abolished and all citizens can live anywhere. They live in peace, respecting the diversity and cultural diversity of the members of the United State. They feel spiritually richer due to the fact that people of different faiths, skin color or sexual preferences live next to each other. Thanks to the unification, Europe has become a strong country and of great importance on the international arena. Its citizens no longer have to tremble for their future and fear the aggression of their opponents. The absence of borders and the free market allowed for economic development. Because people live better lives, they can invest in the development of science and culture. Higher social awareness translates into care for the natural environment. The former "Green Deal" has ceased to be an empty slogan, and has become a signpost that guides people to preserve the biodiversity of our planet, improve the cleanliness of the earth, rivers and air. This is the new world we want to pass on to our children.

In the future I see my graduated daughter working in what she likes.I see my now adult son working as an electronic technician. I see the mental health of our boys so strong and so fragile at the same time put in the first place where the school leaves no one behind, where the professors make you love their subjects or at least be curious about them. Where people who have escaped wars now far away are in Italy or other host countries "at home" without feeling different, inferior or unwilling. The whole world and all its governments have understood the importance of maintaining and taking care of nature and its animals. The wonderful world we live in.
