In 2040, society could have reached common sense. With AI, excessive government spending has been cut and bureaucracy reduced and processes accelerated. Governments are more transparent and corruption is reduced. Less power for public authorities and more say for citizens. No more excessive taxes and restrictions on people's rights. There are no climate taxes or quotas to fill. Because the technology is sufficiently advanced, the wars are over. People have cooperation as a goal, not to be better and stronger than others. The emphasis is on the family model, which is advocated and supported by the state. Children's education is more about children's skills and interests, not about general level and that everything is the same as in the Soviet era. In the catering sector, the aim is to provide healthy food, not to chase profits. All decisions are made from the point of view of whether or not it makes a person's life healthier and more fulfilling. The focus is not on things, but on experiences, relationships and health. Not imposing the mixing of peoples on countries and letting countries and peoples be what they are and preserve their culture. The first humans have already been to Mars and humanity is interested in exploring and discovering space.

Ma maison du futur
Always very connected. A detached house that is enough for itself. Photovoltaic panel, water recycling. Have warm in winter and cool in summer. Naturally I have a greenhouse that allows me to eat fruits and vegetables that I produce myself. There will also be cameras for my safety. I would very much like to see other propulsion modes for my vehicle develop, with solar panels to charge my car.

Czy to bajka, czy nie bajka?
A better future... We drive electric cars, and electricity to them is provided by wind and nuclear power plants. Non-organic plastic replaced glass, in a garbage incineration plant with efficient filters made waste pits finally unnecessary. The air in Polish cities is suitable for breathing even in winter, and in summer we are not afraid of drought and lack of water. And instead of arming, we spend money on health protection and equal opportunities for children and adolescents. All this may be possible, but I'll put it between the fairy tales...

Den gröna framtiden
I would like to see a future where there has been a major change for the benefit of the environment and the future of the planet. Solar, wind and hydropower have replaced fossil energy sources. Buildings, houses, etc. are equipped to be self-sufficient both in terms of energy and, for example, basic raw materials such as potatoes and the like. Public transport has switched entirely to electric vehicles and there are incredible high-speed trains that can compete with flights between major cities.

Naturen er reddet
You have invented a technology that effectively breaks down CO2 from the atmosphere and you are back to a world without climate change. The gardens are healthy with beautiful coral reefs and full of fish. In the North there is winter with long periods of snow. Farther south in Europe there are rarer forest fires and normal amounts of rain that give good breeding. There are no climate refugees. They appreciate nature more and seek it out often. Animal welfare is also an important focus area and you eat less meat. Smartphones and computers are used less often, and you are less accessible by phone/mail both privately and at work.
