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.

I would like the world to have arrived at a state of well-being for as many people as possible, with less and less pollution due to improved disposal technologies, less processed food on the tables, honest and accessible health care, higher wages, an end to totalitarianism and principles of solidarity among peoples.

For the people of Wales, the arrival of Our Future Health is an opportunity to ensure that their communities are represented in future health research. According to a Welsh Government report, the number of people living with a serious illness in Wales is expected to rise to 556,000 by 2040 - an increase of more than a third. Our Future Health is on a mission to bring people together so that researchers can find new ways to prevent, detect and treat disease.

Vivere nella felicità.
I expect a world totally different from the current one. There are no wars, people live freely without oppression by governments freely elected by the people. Most of the economic differences between peoples have been eliminated. And most people have a job that allows them to live decently.

The greener planet less concrete. The happy people without war with all people having the same rights, living all together regardless of race religion or gender. Clean and healthy air, no medicine and everyone living an organic lifestyle.
