Como assim isto é 2040?

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

It's 2040. Climate change continues to wreak catastrophic havoc on society and little or nothing is being done to slow it down or even stop it.
Science continues to evolve to the point where more and more artificial intelligence takes jobs away from us. How can we survive in capitalism if science takes away our livelihood? There are fewer and fewer people willing to teach because the hell they would have to try if then there is artificial intelligence that tells us everything in a much simpler and succinct way but in a monotonous way that makes us understand practically nothing.
With regard to politics. As such, the world continues to lag behind more and more. Where is the gender equality that so many women struggle with but that seems to be regressing? How are we being ruled by men in their 50/60/70 years who care only about the power and money they have? Why don't countries work together to make the capitalist system (the worst of all) better? Why are the poor always poor and the rich always richer? How did we stop the far-right governments we've been denying for 80 years and even 30 years? What happened to the world? What happened to each person's critical thinking? What happened to those who just wanted to unite everyone to have a better world? Where's everybody? Where are the democracies of 30 years ago and why are countries becoming dictatorships again?

Podróże w czasie
In 2040, the world looked very different than it did twenty years ago. Poland has become a peaceful, safe and united country around common values. The streets were clean, the cities well organized, and people lived in harmony, valuing their traditions and culture. There was an atmosphere of tranquility in the towns, with children playing in the backyards without fear, the elderly walking in the parks, and the neighbours knowing each other and helping each other in their daily lives. Local communities thrived and small family businesses thrived, supported by modern technologies and a conscious approach to the economy. There were no problems with crime or riots. The authorities have made sure that the country develops in a sustainable and safe way. Young people had good prospects – they could educate themselves at a high level, develop their passions and be sure that they would find a decent job. Thanks to a wise economic policy, Poland became self-sufficient – agriculture flourished, domestic companies produced modern technologies, and people enjoyed stability and prosperity. Society was united, proud of its history and ready to build the future in accordance with its own values. In the evening, sitting on the terrace of his house, John looked at the quiet streets and felt gratitude. He knew that his children were growing up in a world where they could feel safe, respect their roots and build a better future for generations to come.

Au réveil, les machines préparent le petit déjeuner que j'ai l'habitude de prendre (café, pain grillé et un fruit). Mes vêtements sont prêts et se mettent automatiquement sur moi. Je prends des transports en commun qui vont vite, vole et permettent d'arriver rapidement sur son lieu de travail. Ce n'est pas très durable mais c'est pratique. Le vélo est devenu une activité en perte de vitesse car c'est moins rapide. La société va toujours plus vite. Tout est informatisé et ne permet pas d'avoir trop d'interaction sociale et c'est un bat qui blesse. Pour la vie de famille, cela reste tous ensemble dans la même maison mais cela ne permet pas vraiment de se croire en famille car chacun est plus isolé devant un appareil électrique qui occupe son temps libre

Unsere Hoffnung
There is no more war in Europe. The states have agreed well and respect each other and the borders. All European countries are in the European Union and manage it jointly and consensually. There are no political or economic dependencies on other states. This is where agreements come in. Poverty and homelessness are exceptional. Anyone can call for help. Migration is not a negative issue because people and their workforce are welcome. However, people who have become criminals are expelled and must return to their home country. Climate change continues to be a big issue, but work is underway around the world to make a difference. Resources are protected and protected. Recycling is normal.

Enfin libre
It is 7:30 a.m. the awakening of the AI comes to give me the weather, and also the state of traffic in the aerobuses. I will prepare and reach the station where I will find the regulars who live in the same community island. This weekend if the weather permits, I will be able to spend two days away from the city in the protected nature.I am an average manager in a company specializing in agronomy, we manage breeders and growers who work in very well equipped farms. The world lives in peace and personal spirituality has replaced false religions. Politics too is curtailed and everything is run by assemblies of sages aided by AI. There is no longer a dictatorial Europe and everything is decided at the local level by the sages who change every three years. All the lies of the old elites were exposed and the protagonists were heavily punished. The drug has been almost completely eradicated and specialized recreation centers offer even stronger but safe and addiction-free sensations. The education of children is the subject of great attention and many harmful subjects are no longer taught. The death penalty has been reinstated for serious crimes, many judgments are rendered by AI and confirmed by sages.
