I would be 82 years old in 2040. If I were still in this world then, my oldest two grandchildren would be 26, my middle granddaughter 22 and the youngest two 20 years old.
My wish for my children, children-in-law and grandchildren is that the climate situation improves. I hope that common sense will finally prevail. Maybe then there will be a world without war?
I imagine that there will only be self-driving cars. There are no more internal combustion engines. The public transport network is well developed. The research work is sensational, new technologies and achievements are constantly being developed for a climate-friendly world.
That would be my vision for the future. I can't imagine anything else. I'm worried about my family and also about the whole of humanity and the animal world. More war, crop failures, water shortages, a collapse in health care...... If a miracle doesn't happen and a change in thinking finally takes place, we face a terrible future.

A healthier future. It will be possible to replace all sick human organs with artificial ones, even in the brain it will be possible to make certain adjustments. The age of people will be extended, people will be able to work much longer, and demographic problems will be solved. The number of people on earth will stop increasing, and we will eat mostly artificial food.

What I would like to see is a society in which everybody is living together and taking care of each other.It's no longer I but we. We take care of each other, the environment instead of the current life in which I is the most used word. We have taken a big economic downfall to reach it yet life is better, Life is harder yet more joyful. That's what I wish and hope for.

I would like to see peace on earth. Countries helping each other instead of fighting. I would like to see the housing crisis sorted and that no one should ever have to be homeless regardless of their situation. A better medical system in Ireland where everyone is treated fairly and all on a countrywide healthcare system.

Since we are in 2040 . I want our future to be twice as good. To introduce some new ways to maintain the cleanliness of the environment and air. And that all wars be stopped and that we all live normal lives in peace and harmony. Most likely, it would improve jobs and increase pay and create more shelters for the homeless. She would most like to change the way she treats each other. To introduce better systems in schools and for children to have a carefree childhood. And as far as environmental pollution is concerned, electric cars should be introduced to reduce pollution. And more use bikes and public transport that would be among the cheaper or even free. I think that's all she'd change.
