Ένα αισιόδοξο μέλλον

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

The United States of America after failed attempts by its presidents to annex Greenland, Canada, Mexico and other countries of the world has collapsed economically. Their products no longer resonate in the world. Hollywood tainies and their writers in the prose of a third grader are not even heard. The rest of the world is again appreciating the classic great directors like Bergman, Godard, Dreyer and young directors who have now emerged and their readings range from Flaubert to Beckett to Fosse. The new superpower is now China, but it does not intervene politically in the rest of the world. Since the collapse of the Americans the world has gained a much higher level of education and culture. This has led to a flourishing of the arts and letters. A new, shall we say, renaissance, but this time on a global level. Eventually shortly after 2040 China, and while it has already bought up all the sovereign debt of the United States, which is now unable to get involved financially, gains control of the United States and makes it their protectorate. The future now looks very optimistic.

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.
