Two thousand forty years. I'm eighty-four now. The world has changed a lot, as have I. All sustainability theories have collapsed, it has been clarified that this was a money laundering and misappropriation, but the collective responsibility of politicians has failed to identify and bring to justice. The wars were kept to a minimum. My health is no longer good, although a breakthrough has been promised in the field of health care, but the promises have not been kept. The new generation, some inactive, apparently consumer activities of life took the top, forty-year-olds are somehow anemic, they do not want to engage in some activities, even entertainment is no longer interested, let alone work. Climate change has not changed, cycles repeat themselves on the principle of the spring, as was already the case in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In Europe, there has been a significant decline in the number of ethnic Europeans, a very large number of Arabs, Asians, Mongol-type ethnoses. Technical progress is stagnating because some limit has already been reached that the human mind can no longer cross, as has been established by Artificial Intelligence. My future is already clear, there is almost no time left, so it remains only to wish those who are moving forward to go beyond all limits and not give in to apathy.

the future is grandchildren
in 2040 I will be 72 and my children 32 and 31 - I hope I have grandchildren and that they live near. I hope my kids are settled workign and have decent places to live. air and watr are clean. i hope that the weather has settled and the enviroment stabalised - but I doudt it and I think my children will be facing more extreme weather. AI will impact their jobs but not to the extent the pessimists worry. I will be retired - but only just as I enjoy work, i will have a rich cultureal and social life and wont be worrying about caring for othes (those years are behind me). I might need to help my kids finaically just as my parents helped me - but they do ok.

Se på mig
When you sit in a café in the sun, people talk. The cell phones are gone. You look into each other's eyes and take an interest in each other. Respects differences, sexuality, skin tones and attitudes. They no longer judge each other. There is peace and quiet in the world. No one feels superior to anyone else. The focus is on the contact, interaction and respect between people. There is peace and no stress.

Ma maison du futur
Always very connected. A detached house that is enough for itself. Photovoltaic panel, water recycling. Have warm in winter and cool in summer. Naturally I have a greenhouse that allows me to eat fruits and vegetables that I produce myself. There will also be cameras for my safety. I would very much like to see other propulsion modes for my vehicle develop, with solar panels to charge my car.

Czy to bajka, czy nie bajka?
A better future... We drive electric cars, and electricity to them is provided by wind and nuclear power plants. Non-organic plastic replaced glass, in a garbage incineration plant with efficient filters made waste pits finally unnecessary. The air in Polish cities is suitable for breathing even in winter, and in summer we are not afraid of drought and lack of water. And instead of arming, we spend money on health protection and equal opportunities for children and adolescents. All this may be possible, but I'll put it between the fairy tales...
