The year is 2040 and this is a good year. Another great war is behind us, half the world was included and now there is peace and the reconstruction of our time.
Many people have lost their lives, many children have been minimized and many plants have been destroyed.
Now we have a time in which people stick together (again), do everything together, show off something great together: community life!

Small and large work together as best they can, it is no longer about envy, exclusion, the color of a person does not matter, the size, the appearance ..., it is only about the person himself, about his person and his respective importance.

There is no more homelessness, hardly any violence because everything is accessible.

Everyone helps as much as they can.

Children go to school, people work wherever they need to.

Capitalism died in the war. Everyone has living space, in fact there is now more living space than people. There are balcony herbs everywhere, everyone has planted beds, even at home in mini-greenhouses. All the neighbors help each other.

Cabs are accessible for short distances, buses too, because tickets are free. Everyone is educated. Illiteracy is slowly disappearing. Former prisons have created an ideal resocialization with more free space. The brutality is gone. Everyone has everything they need. Goods are no longer in abundance, they are accessible to all, for general use and rent.

la vie à 90 ans
in 2040, I'll be 90....what to imagine ???? It's not easy. At that age, you don't need many things any more, but I'd still like to be able to do my own housework without any outside help, take my dog for a walk in the morning and then put my nose to the computer to do my surveys to improve my small pension. In 2040, maybe there'll be self-driving cars, so I'll be able to keep my autonomy on that side too.... go out and celebrate with the family and be able to return home quietly without fear of being checked. Health worries would be a thing of the past, and there would be plenty of preventive means to prevent any illness. Cancer would be vanquishedCOPY00and many other diseases .... There would be no more rich or poor, and even fewer homeless. Pets would be protected by compulsory microchips, so that anyone who 'loses' their pet could be traced.

Il futuro che spero e vorrei
I would like to find myself in a peaceful future where technology has increased but where a fixed income for people has been created since many jobs are gone. A secure future of equality. In which transportation is fast and efficient and in which we no longer need to learn languages but use automatic voice translators. I hope for a future in which man really has time to live and does not have to work 12 hours a day to survive. A future where we no longer have to be afraid of diseases such as cancer and where the average life span is much higher than it is now. I also hope that we no longer have to worry about climate change and that we have been able to solve the problem by learning to live with the planet. At the same time I believe that we will continue to search for other planets with conditions compatible with life, and I hope that even just 20 years from now interplanetary travel will no longer be just the subject of science fiction movies. In all of this, however, I unfortunately believe that the weakest, poorest and most fragile populations will be crushed as the Earth's population cannot continue to grow by leaps and bounds, and situations such as Covid will increase and be the order of the day. Economic disparities globally will increase.

I would like to see world peace in 2040. To fix the climate problem and bring climate control. Even though 2040 is still 15 years away, I think it will be a bright year in which the world will be friendly and help each other. 2040 is the year when humanity will finally realise that only by working together can we make real progress. Countries will not compete for resources, because sustainable energy solutions and advanced technologies will allow everyone to live in harmony. Climate control will not only stop extreme weather events, it will also revitalise nature - deserts will be green again and endangered species will return to their natural habitats. People will focus more on science, art and spiritual development than on wars and conflicts. Cities will be greener, cities greener and communities more united than ever.

Das Leben und die Umwelt und soziales 2040
In 202 I am 83 years old and I wish I could still live well in my environment, i.e. be surrounded by people who don't just look after their own profit but act in the interests of the community as a whole and respect the environment. In particular, they should remember that you don't need a third or fourth car or other things, the growth in consumption should be reduced, that would be good for the planet and the earth. Live a little more modestly. In addition, you should look at many people on earth who respect the environment even more. I don't mean a total regression in their way of life. Politicians should also think more about this, especially the totalitarian rulers in North Korea, China and Russia. But that is wishful thinking on my part. I hope God will sort things out.
