In 2040, my child will be 19 years old and travelling in an increasingly borderless Europe, on a comprehensive and fast rail network around the world. From the train window, the budding forest planting projects, both in the cities and in the countryside, are flashing by. Grasslands have also already been mainly restored as meadows or forests. Solar panels and windmills flash on the horizon. Cities are home to an increasingly multicultural population whose existence is measured not by production value or income but by a happiness barometer.

I wish/hope for better health and thus welfare in the future. It is both that there is better health and health care, ie both prevention and healing, as well as more information on what you can do yourself. The school system needs more 'practical' learning - about food, health, living conditions and welfare (psychological) etc. Working life must be rethought/restructured - utilization of AI - so that the work is distributed among those who can work, thus lower working hours and more flexibility with home workplace, possibly different job functions (eg: you are both head of one area, but assistant etc. in another) - more equality in working life and economy. Out with cars - free public transportation and better infrastructure as a result. Optimization of living conditions - e.g. healthy food is cheaper, unhealthy 'food' is more expensive, better exercise is less expensive (surely this requires subsidy schemes?) - so people are happier and have more surplus. changing housing types so there are more communities. Lots of dreams and most of it feels like utopia - unfortunately I don't believe any of this will have happened by 2024 (maybe something in the school system) - because governments focus more on money and prestige projects than the things people need most

Un futur libre et heureux ou chacun respecte l autre , respecte la nature , son environnement les biens . Ou l on développera encore la technologie.. la conquête de l espace , on marchera sur mars grâce à une collaboration mondiale . Ou mon fils sera heureux , épanoui, se souviendra avec joie de son enfance et de ses parents

I 2040 har landene/politikerne besluttet sig at samarbejde på på tværs af lande og politiske partier. De har indset at kun en samlet insats kan rede klimaforandringerne og rette op på skaderne efter forskellige krige. Landene der før var u-lande klare sig bedre end de andre, de har hurtigere og bedre har indrettet deres liv. På grund af der ikke flere krige og at ulandene klarer sig godt, er der meget få flygtninge. Der er skabt en bedre balance mellem arbejde og fritid, dette har gjort at fertiliteten er steget. Reguleringerne af de sociale medier har gjort at internet er faldet og dermed er og indtjeningen faldet.
