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.

Nejasná budoucnost, která může být pozitivní, ale museli by ji vzít lidé do vlastních rukou a použít rozum
The future of Europe is very unclear to me. I imagine it could be very positive, but it would mean that people would take their minds into their hands and start using them. They will overthrow the current leadership and start to think logically and start to care more at the national level. It is impossible for anyone to constantly dictate nonsensical rules to us. Nowadays, we have a plethora of new fantastic technologies that would be useful to use and develop. We need to fight sustainability, teach people to save energy, better sort waste, and produce less. It is necessary to ensure the health of people - to expand education in the care of their own health, to involve modern technology, but still to preserve the privacy of people as such and to provide them with a dignified life, which is decided by themselves, not by the government or other state institutions. The tax burden needs to be reduced and the state needs to be slimmed down. It is also necessary to fight migration, deport inadaptable individuals and ensure order, cooperate on peaceful solutions. In conclusion, I don't trust people anymore, so it's all just an illusion and we are more likely to have a period of decline and problems.
