A day in 2040

A day in 2040 starts as usual. Breakfast and a shower with an electric heater. The trip to work in the capital is done by train, during which you can glance around and see hydrogen-powered vehicles becoming more common. Maglev technology is starting to take off and is said to be the next great revolution in transport, as it reduces the need for new rubber tires and reduces the friction in vehicles. You can go from one end of the country to the other by train in 30% less time than in 2025. AI has helped revolutionise all industries and made them more efficient, though at the cost of millions of jobs. Most cancer types can be treated and education levels are the highest ever. Religion is becoming less important in developed countries, but geopolitical tensions are at their highest since the Cold War.
Uncertainty is the key word at this time.

It's been 2040 and I still remember 2025. A year of turmoil over the war in Ukraine, price rises, anger. Anger in most people's hearts. I wouldn't have thought that 2040 would be a completely different year. We will have freedom for love, freedom for culture and stronger education for children at school on everyday issues. We have become happier, more understanding and less public anger. Our world became more beautiful, and so little was needed, just love.

Mental health issues are becoming more and more topical. In the future, already since kindergarten children, we have raised awareness of how to live a more fulfilling life by shaping our habits-sleep, nutrition, movement are balanced and ensure vitality and longevity, and there are skills on how to help yourself on mental health issues and notice the concerns of others.

Science takes over
It's 2040, and I'm walking through the streets of Kortrijk. The air is cleaner than I could have ever imagined when I was a child. Above me float transparent solar panels that are integrated into the architecture, almost invisible but responsible for generating 80% of the electricity in the city. The scientific revolution has also transformed our health. CRISPR-Cas13 technology has led to gene therapies that can treat previously incurable diseases. The average life expectancy has risen to 95 years, while maintaining quality of life.
