Affordable and abundant energy to run our cities, homes, and businesses. This alone could have a cascading effect on all aspects of life.

I wake up at 7am ready to start my day, my blinds open letting in the sun, i see the blue sky and smell the coffee coming in from my kitchen. It's quite different from the 2020's loud smoggy filled days when i felt like a cog in the system, working with no passion or purpose. How far we have come from the turmoil of those years. My home feels like an extension of my life, helping me get started, quick call to my kids to see how they are doing, then out the door to a waiting car. i climb in, I'm greeted with a friendly voice, no one is there but I'm used to it. I'm dropped off to the train station which takes me straight to my work. I love my job; the human interaction and energy and vibe is so refreshing. I look out my office window and green spaces fill the top of buildings, while parks are as prevalent as Starbuck use to be. We have moved from fossil fuels, fusion revolutionized life, borders are now lines on a map rather than restrictive barriers for trade and human migration. Life new is about living and encouraging our diversity, exploring our moon and planets and not about running after a penny or trying to make ends meet. people and attitudes changed, education focuses on science, math, engineering not on financial markets. how far we have come!

International world
Ideally, I like to think of a future in 2040 for example, that is even more international that the world we live in today. In fact, I consider that nowadays, when compared to the previous years and the generation of my parents and grandparents, our reality is way more international and I've lived it myself. But I like to believe that in the future it will be even more easy to travel and explore other countries and share international experiences worldwide. However, I'm afraid that these expectations I have in mind for the future might be stopped by wars and international conflicts related to politics.

It's hard to think so far because I'm 75 now. Above all, I want my children and grandchildren to live in a safe world with democratic values, have the opportunity to work and education based on their conditions , have access to a nature that is not private and also a culture that is not expensive

Älter werden im Dorf
Ich bin älter geworden. Ich habe mir mit meinem Partner den Traum erfüllt, nochmal ein Haus zu bauen - im Garten des alten Hauses war ja schließlich noch Platz! Kleiner als das alte Haus ist es nicht geworden, dafür besser aufgeteilt. Wir haben uns in die obere Wohnung zurückgezogen - das Büro im Untergeschoss wird nicht mehr gebraucht, seit wir uns aus dem Arbeitsleben zurückgezogen haben. Jetzt dient es als Appartement, wenn Kinder und Enkel zu Besuch kommen. Unsere Nachbarschaft verändert sich ständig. Trennungen und Todesfälle sorgen für Wechsel. Die Häuser stehen nicht lange leer. Es ist sehr beliebt, im Dorf zu wohnen. Hier achtet man immer noch aufeinander und das Zusammenleben funktioniert. Es gibt viele Angebote für Jung und Alt, dem meisten Leuten ist es wichtig, sich ehrenamtlich zu engagieren. Insgesamt eine gute Umgebung, älter zu werden.

I would like 2040 to be antidiscriminate for people above 26 years old to get job. I mean here 26 years old is unmet to apply jobs. I mean its limited only from 18 to 25 years old. And the rest people are jobless even 40s and 50s years old. The issues are a lot. But i can't believe it its difficult here also to do business or self employee. Because everyone also have no job, and less moneys, to buy our products very challenging. I wanna see this will improved and people are secure financialy, can pay taxes, more integrity, prosper. I can't describe the future would be. Clearly, the future i wish is full of blessings and prosperity.
