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.

Futur meilleur
Inevitably, the world is going to change, thanks to technological advances. I think, or at least I hope, that we'll be living on a less polluted planet. That humans will have more respect for the environment, that we'll have access to healthcare for everyone. Less delinquency and more respect for the elderly. That everyone can have a minimum of comfort.

Health is the most important thing for a person to stay alive. Timely access to medical care is very poor today. I am very hopeful of advances in technology that will give people the possibility of timely diagnosis and treatment of illness by an artificial arm. After all, the situation today is that a doctor prescribes a diagnosis and medication to a patient based on the symptoms described by the patient over the phone or in an e-health centre without seeing the person. The development of a self-driving car service would provide people with better mobility, regardless of where they live, their age or their state of health.

valoisa tulvaisuus
I would like the future to be happy and secure, instead of gloomy as it seems to be now. In the future, AI would do the boring and dangerous jobs and leave the art to competent, knowledgeable people. A future where more emphasis would be placed on people's mental well-being rather than driving them into a constant spiral of fatigue and depression. The working hours should be shorter than the basic 8 hours so there would be enough work for more people and the wages should be raised to a level where the rent can be paid with those hours. This would leave more time for hobbies and future development.

Green cities
You could really see the changes now, she thought as she walked down the street. After over ten years with self driving EVs and robotaxis, the cities had changed so much. Parking lots, no longer needed, were replaced by parks with trees, flowers, bees and birds. The air was filled with scents, you never could sense before when the air was filled with exhaustion fumes. Even though some fossil fuel vehicles remained, they were not allowed within cities any longer. And the previous traffic noises were replaced by the sound of laughter from children playing, the ripple of water, birds singing and some buskers playing in the distance. Everywhere you could see buildings with solar panels and for the last ten years, all windows worked like solar panels too. Combined with batteries, it provided cities with a stable electricity supply, even when extreme weather hit.
