I wake up to compete with the sun, I often lose. I live on a self-driving bus and have given myself permission to grow a beard after I've turned 80. My finances are in balance. Living in a car is cheaper than living in a rental apartment. All my furniture and stuff are old, mostly second-hand. Retirement doesn't have to fight too much bureaucracy to make money. You can also work a little more freely. My motorhome has a good sized kitchen and a separate bedroom. There is a small sauna in the bathroom. There is a small studio in the living area. The car is allowed to drive completely autonomously, no more need for a person next to it. Moving around is easy. Sometimes my girlfriend and I travel a little further. The climate in Finland is starting to be warm enough, especially in the summer. There are still no flying cars, no one has even seriously tried to make them. I don't think they'll ever come. My bipolar disorder has been brought under control when the causes of it have finally been understood. The right diet is crucial. All unnecessary conversational therapy has been eliminated from the treatment companies. I am reasonably happy with my life.

Města v rovnováze s přírodním světem
The sun slowly rises over Prague, its rays reflecting off the green roofs of buildings covered with solar panels and gardens. I wake up in my smart home, which automatically optimises temperature and air quality based on my needs. The clothes I wear are made from biodegradable materials, designed to be easily recycled when worn. On my way to work, I ride in an autonomous hydrogen bus that moves quietly through traffic-free streets. By 2035, stringent measures to limit emissions have been introduced across the EU, and massive investment in renewable energy has transformed cities into self-sufficient ecosystems. Today, I'm free to take a short trip - a hyperloop will take me to Berlin in 30 minutes. Travelling between European capitals is now cheap, green and accessible to all. I think about how much the world has changed in the last 25 years: the climate crisis has forced humanity to act, technology has brought solutions and we have finally found a balance between progress and nature.

Rok 2040 - lepší budoucnost pro všechny
Imagine 2040 - a world where technology serves people, working conditions are fair and everyone has the opportunity to develop their potential. Automation and artificial intelligence are not taking our jobs away, but helping us focus on what's really important - creativity, caring for others and innovation. The work environment is fair, promoting work-life balance, with an emphasis on mental well-being and flexibility.

In 2040 I will be 35, hopefully married and with two children. I would like society to improve, especially for my future children. I want bullying to be addressed when it happens. I want everyone to be able to do and wear what they want etc etc etc...

Cambio climático es real
We are in the year 2040. The world has changed, and one of the greatest achievements has been the transformation of cities into sustainable and green spaces. The streets are full of trees and vertical gardens, electronic cars and efficient public transport have reduced pollution, and renewables supply almost all electricity. In my city, every neighborhood has accessible parks, green roofs in buildings and pedestrian areas where people can enjoy without noise or smoke from cars. Technology has advanced to make life more comfortable without harming the planet: waste is recycled automatically, and artificial intelligence helps manage resources efficiently. Schools teach from childhood the importance of caring for the environment, and companies have adopted economic models that prioritize sustainability. Nature and urban life coexist in harmony. This is the future that I imagine and that I would like to see come true.
