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.

Die KI der Zukunft zu Hause
Life is AI-controlled. No area in which it does not operate or even dominate in whole or in part. Whether in road traffic, and especially in public transport, health care and medicine, in education from the KiTa to schools to universities, in all branches of the economy and especially in our everyday life at home. The AI is the first to welcome us when we open the door at home. By means of voice recognition, she immediately knows which family member has just entered the apartment, recognizes the mood of this person by various parameters such as breathing, blood pressure, body temperature, etc., plays the appropriate music at ideal volume , adjusts the lighting and the room temperature appropriately and prepares a corresponding drink. She asks what she can do to make the end of the day / further daily routine and to improve the mood. She makes suggestions and presents ideas-based on the habits and preferences of the human being-about whom she knows everything that one can somehow find out. The AI is almost the best roommate you could wish for, isn't it …?!

Imagine 2040, where clean and sustainable energy is the key change. In this world, almost all energy comes from renewable sources such as the sun, wind, hydropower and nuclear fusion. Energy storage technologies are so advanced that there is no waste of energy, and each building can generate and store its own electricity on its own. The transport system is also revolutionary, with fully autonomous electric vehicles and hydrogen vehicles dominating the roads and urban streets redesigned to make pedestrian and cyclist comfort a priority. City-to-city travel is carried out by ultra-fast electric trains, which replace most flights over short distances, reducing pollution. The climate crisis has been contained through targeted emission reductions and the use of carbon capture technologies. Cities have become greener, with vertical farms on skyscrapers, green roofs and smart air filtration solutions supporting clean air. Natural ecosystems have been restored and populations of endangered species have stabilised. In addition, access to energy has revolutionised society by making the basic cost of living (electricity, transport) almost free, allowing people to focus more on creativity, science and personal development than just working for living. It would be a future in which life would become not only more sustainable, but also more comfortable, giving more freedom to every person.

Osebna asistenca ni več kamen spotike v naši drzavi
I want people with disabilities to be treated more fairly in our society.To make it easier for them to get suitable jobs for those who can work, but those who cannot get adequate financial compensation so that they can live comfortably and also enjoy some luxury.The rights granted to them should be exercised consistently, especially the right to personal assistance.I hope that they will significantly increase the salaries of personal assistants, because for some people with disabilities they are the only bright spot or bright window into the world.If higher salaries will also be available more personal assistants and users, that is, people with disabilities will not ask for them on social networks or search for them on other sources of employment
