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.

Un risvolto di vita sereno
The world of work is one of those realities that should undergo a change, more and more the desire to go elsewhere and get away from the daily grind, the hectic pace of the day, appears and transpires. It would be useful to streamline the work days, to allow people to produce better and with more serenity, no more commuters stuck in traffic and stressed adults trying, climbing the walls, to make ends meet.

Ljus framtid
In the society of the future, we share and think in a circular way, using the Earth's resources so that there is enough for everyone and so that we do not jeopardize our future. Waste no longer exists, but everything we produce and manufacture is fed back into systems to be used and given new life. Artificial intelligence (AI) has freed up resources to change the way people work, leaving more time for creativity, humanity and other things that make us feel good. We are living longer. Individualism has peaked and measuring performance has been replaced by intrinsic motivation and a sense of belonging. We are not our professions but people, with more time for thought and reflection. The society of 30 years from now will be a strong society where we have taken responsibility for, and adapted to, climate challenges. Technological developments and the exponential growth of digitalization have created good conditions and shared knowledge, understanding and insight have guided us in how to use them in the best way. We operate in a global context where we reach the whole world no matter where we are.

Vrij door Europa
If it is 2040, I would like the world to be free of war and violence and to be able to travel freely through Europe. People able to visit Eastern European countries again without the threat of violence. The economies will flourish again because of increasing tourism. Even Moscow is flourishing in this regard. Those in power now are under lock and key, and new governments stand for freedom and democracy.

Vreedzaam Europa
The war in the Ukraine has ended peacefully. Russia has totally withdrawn. Putin is deceased. The tensions of the past few years have made people in Europe realize the need to communicate and cooperate with each other in an open and peaceful manner.
