2040-beter of niet?

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040, 95% of the population will drive electric cars and, in addition, small cars will fly to work anywhere in the world.
There will be no economic connection with the different continents because it will be every man for himself.
This will give the home economy a serious boost and unemployment will be virtually non-existent.
Refugees will invariably be refused entry - the borders will do extra checks.
The military arsenal will be brought back up to standard and military service reintroduced because there will always be rulers who want to expand their borders.
Europe will have to continue to arm itself against Russia and China but there will be a good agreement between the european countries
There will be one single currency for all european countries and also the belaqstins laws, taxation systems will be aligned and equivalent.
Whether people will be happier remains a question mark.

Die Ära des Wohlbefindens: Puff-Roboter für eine gesunde Zukunft
In 2040, I would like to see a world in which puff robots play a central role in the health and wellness sector. These small, intelligent devices would not only serve as practical helpers in everyday life, but also as therapists and companions in a stressful world. Imagine a puffing robot is a compact, ergonomic robot designed with a touch of artistry to promote people's well-being. Equipped with advanced AI and sensor-based technology, it could recognize people in periods of stress and offer targeted relaxing massages or calming therapies - be it through soothing music, targeted acupressure or mindfulness exercises. It could even be a kind of emotional companion that helps in stressful moments by having calming conversations or simply being there as a silent friend. In this future, the Puff robot would not just be a tool, but an integral part of a healthy, mindful lifestyle.

I hope that there are some decision-makers who have opened their eyes to how society's economy can hang together in the long run. In 2040, I'm 51 years old and apparently still have more than 20 years in the labor market - that is, if I live that long. So in 2040, I hope that we have sorted out how the welfare society will be able to hang together and if I continue to work in the public sector, I hope that there has been a major review of the legislation surrounding public benefits, so that there is more dignity for both the sick and the caseworkers on the other side of the table.

There is no more money, everything is free, jobs are done without pay because we don't need it anyway because everything is free, people live in peace and without worry, we have enough natural resources, nature is green and unpolluted, politicians have become honest because there is no money to bribe them with....

In 2040, a world war will rage. It will be fought largely over water resources, which will then be chronically scarce. The few countries that still have clean, drinkable water resources will be under occupation by the richer developed countries, which will own their water resources. People will live in scarcity and poverty, famine will reign, disease will be rampant and people will die en masse from malnutrition and poisoning. War will end when humanity is extinct.
