I would like everything to go back to the days of my youth, when life was full of beautiful moments and expectations, life security and freedom, beautiful nature training and camping., just a world without premornized technology., internet and other would-be helping nonsense like Al and other nonsense.

I imagine our future in 2040 without war and with huge knowledge about health and prevention of diseases in average people. I hope that we will have more affordable healthcare system for everyone and less anti vaccinators. So, I imagine this time as we beats and decreases flu, Covid, hepatitis and etc. and because of awareness of health and balance of lifestyle I hope we will have more organic and basic food, less something what is so processed. And based on all this healthy stuff we can have better and responsible life. And my dream that we stop “normalising” alcohol as something like essential part of holidays and celebrations.

I woke up and looked at the clock. It was the 18th of February 2040. How did we get here so quickly I thought? It all seemed like a dream. The world looked different. The EU did not exist in its original form. It consisted of 20 states and signed a free trade agreement with the USA in 2026. Since then Europe had a somewhat similar status to Canada and Greenland which held referendums about becoming the states of the USA. The referendum in the EU about the same issue did not pass like in Canada or Greenland, which became the states of the USA, but in the year 2042 we are having a rerun of the referendum, and this time it looks like it will pass. So in a few years, we will probably be part of the USA, everyone will have the freedom of speech, and we will all be happy rich, and prosperous. The golden age of Europe has finally arrived and it is here to stay. In the biggest free market on this planet with the independent, free-thinking entrepreneurial population.

By 2040, the world could be vastly different, shaped by technological, environmental, and societal changes. Here are some possibilities: 1. Technology: Artificial Intelligence (AI) will likely play a dominant role, with AI systems embedded in daily life for everything from transportation (autonomous vehicles) to healthcare (AI-driven diagnostics). Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) could be integrated into work and entertainment, offering immersive experiences that blend digital and physical realities. Quantum computing could revolutionize fields like cryptography and complex problem-solving, vastly enhancing technological capabilities.
