The year is 2040. The transition to a greener and more sustainable society started already in 2025, when the European Union introduced ambitious climate measures to reduce carbon emissions and restore natural ecosystem processes. World leaders understood that the climate crisis is not only an environmental problem, but also a social and economic one. Today, in 2040, I moved around the city using electric transport, which is completely autonomous. I no longer need a driving licence – cars and public transport are integrated into a single network that I can control from a smart device. My daily life is fully technology-related, but it is ethically developed in support of public goods. Our cities have become sustainable, green and intelligent centres where people live in harmony with nature. There were many challenges between 2025 and 2040. First, the biggest changes took place in the world of education and work. Artificial intelligence has created a new educational model that adapts to the needs and speed of each individual. Learning was no longer just a traditional school process – it became a continuous experience that integrated into people’s lives. We are no longer working as we did in 2025. The work is more flexible and tailored to each individual's personal needs. We are experiencing a revolution in the labour market, where not only experience, but also creativity, emotional intelligence and human aspects are appreciated. In recent years, we have also seen a reduction in social inequalities. Europe has become a society in which every person, no matter where they come from, is able to achieve their goals, because we invest more resources in people's potential than in a model of economic growth. However, there are also challenges that still need to be addressed. Artificial intelligence, which has helped to develop human capabilities, continues to create new ethical dilemmas. How to balance the development of technology and preserve the human nature? Can we preserve our own identity by living together in a global network? These issues are still alive in our society, and it is clear that the future will be full of new challenges that we will tackle together. Cities that are green and modern give hope that we can survive in this world that is more connected to nature than separated from it. I hope that in the future we will be able to fully understand and accept this balance.

By 2040, the standby where I live could have evolved and grown. In the city of my dreams I have the opportunity to stay in the center where the beach has grown. The city centre has become more vibrant as the city has become denser in the centre. Many empty spaces have been built with more and larger homes where even families with children can get a place in the center. The number of central playgrounds has increased. More small spaces for meetings have been created. As more people have now chosen to live in the city centre, the range of shops has increased. The opening hours of the city's existing cafes have increased and more cafes, bars and smaller restaurants have arisen as a spontaneous reaction to the city's increased population who want to meet in social rooms outside their residence where opportunities are given to socialize with your loved ones while at the same time being given an opportunity to meet new acquaintances. Imagine taking your knitting and going out to buy a cup of coffee and sit down and suddenly spontaneously get company from others with the same or similar interests. Imagine that a lukewarm summer evening after work take his book and go out and sit in some backyard drinking wine and end the evening with a deep discussion of the events in the book together with someone else a little lonely himself who also read the same book.

Small farms are dead, taxed out and priced out by big corporate farms because of terrible policy by government. Countries give into fear mongering and politicians lobbied by greed set up boarders, heavily armed and highly secure, along with big cities with digital checkpoints. Governments should do what is best for their citizens, they don't like making hard decisions and are just very reactionary and very rearly proactive. Fiat currency will soon be gone.

I see the future as a great meeting place for almost all different people. Everyone can communicate with each other and understand that we are different. Take into account each other's differences and accept them. Ideally, I would like to see acceptance of our peculiarities and respond to each other accordingly. What a world we would have.
