A future based on the past (Un futuro basato sul passato)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040, in 18 I would like the world to be completely different, but I would particularly like to see machines or means of road transport being abolished forever in the future. Indeed, my future is also about the past, because I would like to live in a way in which animals are ‘used’, but to use in a positive sense, in my view the animal in general and in the world was born not only as a companion to humans but also to help them. Indeed, I would like to live in a world where machines are replaced by, for example, coaches with horses or elephants or camels depending on the place in the world in which you are located. However, this does not mean that all means of transport should be abolished, because aircraft or trains or vessels cannot be replaced by animals, including for their welfare. So in the future I would like to “use” animals, but always in their respect, to change the world: both in the climate field, because this would lead to a reduction in pollution and thus help and stop climate change and in the cultural field, because I believe that using all the means that we can have to survive, without always inventing something new, can help people to organise themselves and open up their mind-set.

Changes
I think we will have endured a large war. At this stage Donald Trump will be thankfully dead or his body frozen to try and make a other come back. We will have a war unlike the last ones with countries unites that we hadn't seen. With America and Russia and possibly Korea as the " bad guys" . It could potentially be nuclear involved so the population will be decreased substantially. Northern Europeand northern lines will be the new tropical and temperature changes will be changed across the globe. People will eventually move accordingly. . Some areas will be too hot to keep living in so we may see population s decreasing in areas Like arizona. We will have new deserts.

Przyszłość
I live in a better world. There is no bitterness between people. Everyone has a job. He can afford to support his family and minor expenses. A person is healthy and doesn't have to worry about medical appointments and visits. Any ailment is consulted with a doctor on a regular basis, who provides the necessary help. There is no envy between nations.All problems are solved peacefully. ....tak simply. So that we can finally live a normal life.

Braucam uz kalniem!
I don't know if I will live that long. I would like to have peace and a Latvian Latvia, not cluttered with wind towers. Organic farming and card roses growing outside our homes. Children would respect their parents and artificial intelligence would not have taken over the world. To respect books and other people's work. For government not to lie and work for the people, not for itself. So that everyone can do the work they love. Let's leave the maintenance to robots.

Europe to my hypothetical daughter
20 years from now, my first kid is making plans for her Erasmus. She knows how much I loved my experience and she's excited to see the world on her own in a few years. The programme has been improved and adapted, so I'm not too worried about the financial aspect either. Until then, I'm taking her on lots of adventures throughout the entire continent. Not by plane but by trains, travelling sustainably is now more affordable than taking the car most times! She speaks 3 languages fluently and has native speaking penpals to practise with. We celebrate cultural diversity and heritage, we embrace patriotism as a strength to protect values of openness, peace and democracy for everyone.
