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 peaceful world where everyone takes part in the collective success of France, where everyone can live comfortably and receives the merits of his efforts. A found justice or the deserving are those who provide the most commitment in society, and less taxed to maintain the laziness of those who participate in nothing.

Distopia
A world without borders free from war and hunger with a multi-ethnic society where every individual is respected without any distinction between ethnicity, skin color and religion. A green society no more pollution where nature has resumed its spaces a true participatory democracy where everyone can freely express their ideas

In 2040, Russia broke up into smaller states and China became a democracy. Prior to this, Russia has been at war, which has led to increased readiness and small border thorns also near the Finnish border. The World War could be avoided. Europe has been able to lighten the regulation that suppresses innovation, and the benefits of the common market have brought new prosperity to the whole region. Space tourism is still a utopia, but we dream of it. Artificial intelligence has reduced the need for labour, just like computers or the internet used to. The pain in society is that the top performers do well, but the less capable have fewer and fewer job opportunities and become passive. However, for political reasons, basic income has not been reached and there is a lot of this in the newspapers. Immigration has decreased and demographic trends have stabilised. The famine in Africa raises concerns and climate change puts pressure on population movements. The threat of war in the South is obvious. In the midst of the threats, I feel that already towards the end of my career I am financially safe thanks to entrepreneurship and hard work, and my children are doing well in a changed world. The future does not seem unproblematic, but disasters have, as before, been avoided.
