Anna in Paris

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

On June 12, 2040, Anna wakes up in her apartment hovering over Paris. Thanks to new energy technologies, his house is powered by highly efficient solar modules and integrated micro-wind turbines. Her voice assistant, equipped with advanced artificial intelligence, reminds her of her schedule: Today it takes the Hyperloop train to Berlin, a journey of only 30 minutes.

As she walks down the street, she crosses a green city where individual cars have disappeared in favor of autonomous and ecological locomotion. The facades of the buildings are covered with vegetation and the air is pure thanks to the air filters installed everywhere. At the station, it climbs into a transparent capsule, which is driven at high speed in a vacuum.

Arriving in Berlin, she takes part in a conference on ocean regeneration, a project that has been successful since 2040 thanks to courageous European policies. The Europe of the future is able to meet the challenges of climate change while ensuring a sustainable and harmonious way of life.

Politik der Mitte
Left-wing parties were banned after the 2025 election disaster and democratic, center-right politics now prevail. The economy is booming, taxes have been lowered, those who don't want to work have to see how they can manage themselves, support from the state is only available in the event of incapacity to work through no fault of one's own (illness, etc.). More emphasis was placed on education, infrastructure and digitalization, and the path has proven to be the right one. You can live well on your salary and in principle don't have to do without anything. Refugees were no longer accepted and all unauthorized persons were deported, which has greatly reduced the crime rate. People can move around safely in public again.

Environmentally conscious future
Something that is incredibly important to me is environment and animal rights. I would love to see more efforts towards recycling, and have paid recycling incentives for people. Right now you can take the glass beer bottles back to be recycled and get 2czk for each, it would be amazing if the same could be done for paper and other recyclable materials. That would encourage people to recycle more. I would love to see more efforts put towards having charity events that fund companies which help endangered animals. More government organized incentives and events to help our environment. It could also be great to have events where people can take some clothing that is about to be sent to landfills and upcycle it, maybe also have more clothes that are thrown away from fast fashion clothing stores be donated to those in need here and around the world. It could also be beneficial to have a small class in schools that teaches about the environment, how recycling works, and actionable steps everyone can take to be environmentally friendly.

In 2040 it will be a completely different world, everything will be controlled by robots and artificial intelligence. I think there will be no money and even eating habits will change. More solar panels will be developed and we will use more sun. The weather will be around 10⁰c over winter and summers will be longer. Artificial intelligence will take over and we will be creatures of survival
