Hello, I want to tell you about my life in 2024.
Much has changed since 2025. Extremely workplaces. You want to make repairs, there are huge queues waiting, because there are no good masters anymore. What is good here... there are no more masters who glue tiles, break down walls, etc., because everyone works on computers. They are already being replaced by robots. Unfortunately, robots don't do repairs and don't build homes yet.
I am very pleased with the improved communication. Now you don't have to travel from Mažeikiai to Vilnius a million times to transfer from one train to another or take a bus for six hours. Metro throughout Lithuania has greatly improved life. This has also reduced pollution, as people are happy to choose to travel by metro. Fast, convenient, safe, many directions, more options. There are fewer accidents because people just don't pay to drive cars anymore. Only heavy transport is left on the roads.

I envision a future where labor is not exploitative, where there is a minimum wage requirement, and workers are truly protected and not treated as mere numbers. People who at the end of their workday still have the strength and hope to go and live their lives outside. I imagine women not being refused contract renewals because they are pregnant or may be pregnant in the future. I imagine a world where people with disabilities are truly protected, backed by society, and where health care is free without having biblical wait times.

It's 2040, and aviation is finally reserved for business trips for which video conferencing contacts are insufficient. For private travel, each family can fly once every 4 years. Cruise ships have been banned since 2035. A universal income has been introduced, funded by corporate profits: anything in excess of 2% of ÇA in profits is redistributed. Executive salaries are limited to €15,000 and dividends to the same amount.

Arbeit in der Zukunft

In this future, we all have a four-day week or less. For the same salary and with the same efficiency, we only work three or four days, half of them in the office and half in the home office. We have more time for volunteering, raising children, continuing education, political engagement or just hobbies and sports.

De elektrische toekomst

I hope that by 2040 new forms of energy supply will have taken hold. That nuclear fusion reactors in the Netherlands will ensure that there is power in abundance, bringing the prices of energy down considerably. As a result, the prices of electric cars, appliances and household use will also hopefully go down and technology can make a big step forward. Smart homes are everywhere and there are hardly any CO2 emissions.
