Aufschwung

In 2040, the world has become a true democracy. Politicians no longer operate in elitist bubbles, but are able to grasp and implement the true needs of the population. Decisions are based on transparency and direct participation - every vote counts, regardless of social status. Security has noticeably increased: crime is effectively combated through preventive measures such as education, social integration and intelligent surveillance systems, without sacrificing privacy. Prosperity is no longer a privilege of the few; through sustainable economic activity, fair tax systems and global trade networks, broad sections of the population enjoy access to education, health and modern technologies. A balanced energy and circular economy have increased the quality of life, while social inequalities have been reduced. 2040 stands for a society that not only promises democracy, security and prosperity, but lives it - a model that unites and advances humanity.

The works will be accessible remotely and lively according to their desire, the work will be creative, because monotony and repetitive works will be taken over by technological solutions, transport will be autonomous and only enthusiasts will drive their cars for entertainment, world peace and conflicts will be managed expeditiously and safely - the environment will be monitored everywhere, people will be identified. This is a bit more complicated in terms of privacy, but everything will be arranged in such a way that it will not be abused.

The future will belong to those who have money and power. You can already see this today and this development will be irreversible. Democracies will gradually become part of history. Climate change is much more advanced than we thought and there are wars over land and water and crops.

Humanity would pay attention to the environment and wildlife. Political decisions would be made with the desire to have the least impact on nature. There would be no more terrorist acts and our children could feel safe. Life would be peaceful.

After graduation I decided to stay here at my home, I remember very well when my parents were forced to choose between a better quality of life, and the most dear affections such as family and roots. Today fortunately it is no longer so, I can safely decide to carry out my profession in any European state and receive the same salary, but above all to be sure that the quality of my life will be the same everywhere. My technical knowledge is equally recognized, and the chances of making a career (while still wanting to start a family) are the same, I just have to decide if I want to stay here or start a new adventure. When I talk about it with mine, I see their eyes become shiny, because they know that anyway I will be happy and I will not have remorse not having to accept compromises. Today I witness many acquaintances who (even if in the last years of work) return to where they were born, will retire and will be serene. It's great to be able to decide: If you're a traveler and you don't have to become one.
