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.

Utopia
February 21, 2040. I wake up as usual in my technological bed that has set the ideal sleeping temperature for me. I am happy and rested. Next to me I have my partner, and in the other room our baby girl whom we were able to adopt with ease. I open the window and see a few cars running by in the distance, but I don't hear the sound of them. How strange to think back to 20 years ago, when they could be heard whizzing by and giving off unhealthy smells. Today is a work day, I will be working from the multimedia platform from the comfort of my home, my partner will be going out for his usual manual work, which fortunately the AI is unable to do. He will drive our daughter to school, no problem, like all other parents, both moms and dads. The workday now lasts a maximum of 6 hours by law, after a minimum wage was also finally identified. When I think back to how bad it was years ago, now it seems like a dream. I am also very happy that our little girl in school can learn many things in her multi-ethnic class. We are now in the fourth generation of immigrant people, which also seems superfluous to say, however, it is interesting when once a month teachers do the Day of Cultures, to learn from others. Fortunately, today the household chores are done by our Robot given to all the families, so then in the afternoon we can all be together.

Utopia
In 2040, the rest of the world will follow Europe in the uptake of renewable energy. Europe, for its part, will learn from Bhutan and focus not on economic growth but on increasing people's well-being and happiness. People are living more in commune-style housing and loneliness has been eradicated from the continent. People eat mainly vegetarian food and, due to the collapse in demand, animals can be raised ethically on small farms. The working week is four days a week and wealth is shared equally and fairly between all people.
