My, how long has it been since 2025. The year when things finally started to get better for the earth.
It was November 12, my birthday. Blowing out my 45 candles, I made a heartfelt wish from the depths of my soul: "I wish I could save the world!" And here I am, 15 years later. I am now 60 years old, but the life of every human being has improved so much that 60 years is now equivalent to 40 in the 20th century. I have succeeded in stopping wars, eradicating extremism of all kinds, slowing down climate change, and above all, eliminating all kinds of social inequality. There are no longer poor and rich. Each person is free to be what he or she wants to be. Those who want to work can do so and those who do not want to, cannot. No one is forced. Everyone has the same opportunities anyway. Everyone has a house, everyone has food, everyone has electricity, water and internet connection. Everyone has medical care and medicine, and for many diseases a cure has been found, thanks to scientists who have continued to lend their skills with passion. You travel completely free to go anywhere you want, without the need for red tape. You get on a vehicle and go where your heart desires. Since there are no longer any social and economic differences, there is no need for wars. There are no longer the powerful and the weak. We are all equal. This has also helped alleviate problems such as depression, anxiety, violence, alcoholism, etc.... Because no one has anything to worry about anymore. We help each other, expecting nothing in return with the assurance that we will have the same help if we need it.
Oil and coal were set aside years ago. Only renewable energy is used. The air smells of flowers, woods, meadow and sea, depending on where you are.
Everyone has the same rights. Everyone is free to be who they prefer.

Szkoła przyszłości
By 2040, the school will be student-friendly. It will teach you how to acquire and verify information, not just how to reproduce it. Children will use new technologies in a wise and sensible way thanks to the fact that there will be a modern education system. A system that will not be based only on assessments that are not an objective evaluation of knowledge. A system that will educate children in areas that are close to their time. I hope for an education system that will teach young people how to distinguish real information from fakenews.

Moderní digitální věk
I would like even more advanced modern technologies, such as self-driving cars, to be all the more digital and modern. I would certainly like much more modern buildings here in Prague, a lot of skyscrapers and modern glazed buildings, more large shopping centers, etc. I would very much like to see more American fast foods in the Czech Republic, to significantly expand the number of Subway branches, to have Dunkin Donuts, Arbys, Baskin Robins, Little Ceasars, Dennys and many other brands from the USA come here. Walmart would be great.

Čistý svět
It's an ordinary morning in 2040. The sun is shining through the window of my apartment and the city is slowly coming to life behind it. Outside, there is a quiet electric tram that connects neighborhoods without the need for cars. Transport has changed significantly over the last 20 years – combustion engines are a thing of the past, streets are quieter and cleaner. I read a little news at breakfast. Most people today work from home for at least part of the week, which has helped reduce stress and congestion. But I am looking forward to the office – work is different than before, more collaborative and less routine. On the way, I stop at a small bakery where the clerk serves me fresh bread wrapped in reusable packaging. Waste is no longer carried here – most shops have switched to a circular economy where materials are put back into circulation. In the evening I walk through the park, which used to be a parking lot. Cities have adapted to climate change, more trees have been planted, and every piece of free space serves people. Life in 2050 is not perfect, but in many ways it is better – slower, more sustainable and focused on quality instead of quantity.

Красивото Европейско бъдеще.
I imagine the future as a green nature.Everything around us to be in green huge trees.To have a lot of green meadows full of flowers.To have a lot animals in the forests and mountains and no endangered species.Do not exterminate the animals and destroy nature.Cottages to accept tourists , who enjoy the landscapes and do not pollute around.Eco paths ,which lead to beautiful places.Almost all people to sport in the forests ,on the eco paths.I imagine there are many roads that can be nicely asphalted, so that you can quickly and conveniently reach the beautiful places .Balkan ,sea , sights, monuments in different places.All buildings to be renovated,to look completely different from today.To be able to travel in Europe in a very affordable way without borders, checks and barriers.Everyone can afford to visit all places in the country and Europe without problems.The policy of each country to coincide with the policy of all European countries, so that there can be understanding and everything can be right.Let there be no wars that make people fear and worry about their future.I imagine wages to be much better, so that people can afford all these things and not worry that they will not be able to have everything they want.And finally to summarize, I want a single Europe accessible to all and beauty corresponding to our continent.
