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.

Gesamtheit
A future EUROPE as I would like it to be is an absolute utopia. Unlimited freedom for all. Especially freedom of movement. Democracy for all. A small arsenal of weapons. The Europe would have to live up to the name EUROPA. It is not just freedom to travel. It is not just democracy in all countries. Envy must be a foreign word. The traditions of each country must be preserved and a European government should be completely superfluous. Such a government is already superfluous. The standards that are for the good of all should be introduced everywhere and become mandatory. Animal welfare, treatment of animals during transportation, traffic rules, one currency. Salaries according to performance. Mutual unconditional support in the event of disasters. And there are limits to everything. Such borders, I mean national borders, it must be possible to close and open them so that these borders serve the good of the individual state. Similar educational opportunities for all. Freedom of research and exchange of results. It is all so hypothetical that it is actually unnecessary to react to such tasks here. That is why I have now written enough about it

Die digitale und Autome Zukunft
The wars of 2022-2025 have fortunately come to an end and the economic stability of all countries affected has increased again. We are feeling the effects of digitalization and artificial intelligence everywhere. Proper medical treatment is only available in urgent cases, everything else is carried out via webcam, food deliveries are no longer delivered by people but by drones. A cab ride is autonomous without a driver. Everything is paid for with a digital currency - there is very little cash left, as cash deposits and withdrawals incur a very high fee at the bank.

How i imagine it
In my future i see women having more rights, i see abortion being legal in all countries in EU. I see there’s no descrimination regarding genders. I see more women on high positions on jobs, i se equality of both genders. I wosh for there to be peace and no (or less) war. I also see people going to school, every child have a chance to go to school and get the education they want, i see more opportunities for young (and old) people to go to college and other higher schools.

Zukunftshorror
It's very difficult for me. I'm 65 now, then 80, and I'll probably have to live in a home because of my disability. I'll be looked after, fed, washed and played with by robots. My children will live in other cities and visit me in self-driving cars. We will mainly eat a meatless diet of insects, worms, larvae, etc. There will be small nuclear reactors everywhere. Houses will be built underground because of the heat or cold. There will still be wars because of raw materials
