In 2040, I am 76 years old and did not think I would be here yet, much because of health, but also because the future 2025 did not look worthy to even continue living in.
And then I still live in a very privileged country, very nice and with so much that actually works. By 2025, it was very dark.
But thanks to the fact that Europe and its virtually all countries became united and united, with retained individual sovereignty, on so many of the really important and big issues, we have become strong, and a power in itself, to be able to withstand other “major powers” in the world in order to both influence the maintenance of a just peace between all the countries of the world.
That no financial threat or threat of violence to get their personal wills shall occur. That no single country's military force should be allowed to intimidate someone else's sovereignty. NATO is both a blessing and a must, but the unified military strength and unification of the individual European countries is also something I see as a positive development over the years. That we in Europe have joined forces in research for climate and come very far in this, in collaboration with the rest of the world's countries. That we in Europe are at the forefront of AI, but also in collaboration. I see a strongly united Europe in collaboration with the rest of the world on the issue of most things. But above all, we in Europe are so strong in ourselves that we have the power to influence.
Immigration and integration laws and regulations have been strengthened and agreed in all European countries and are subject to strict conditions. Requirements for Swedish language knowledge here and self-sufficiency are a must. Laws on citizenship and easier faster deportations have become much stricter and tougher. Direct expulsion, deprivation of any citizenship and all its assets taken by the state is accepted in serious crimes. And the fight against domestic violence has with it gone down after all these years. In most of Europe's countries. We are also a good way to get a form of joint health care in Europe. To have an equivalent system within this as well as the cost of medicines, and an equivalent social security for all residents. The same applies to the care of the elderly and schools.
Our stronger Europe has made a stronger Sweden, my fine, fine homeland and made the future something more hopeful. If not for me who are old now, then for my children and their possible grandchildren.

Gemeinsam zusammen

All the houses on our estate are energy self-sufficient. If the individual solar cells are not enough, we have our communal wind turbines, which always produce at high altitude. The profit is distributed to everyone. We only drive a few electric cars and prefer to use our bikes or local transport for most journeys. There are trees everywhere, it's green. Birds on every corner. I work for a company in Ireland. But with home office and fiber everywhere, it doesn't matter where in Europe I work. My son is studying in Denmark. But with the high-speed trains, he can be back here in an hour.

Budúcnosť bez obavy

I would like there to be peace on earth. That all unrest would cease. We are all responsible for what our planet will look like in the future and what relationships will be like, but the higher ups have much more influence over everything. I also hope that nature will be put back in order. We should eliminate the cutting down of trees because they are the main producers of oxygen. Various natural disasters are becoming more and more frequent. Heavy rains but also extreme droughts are plaguing the country in much greater numbers than in the past. This is linked to global warming. It is not only people who suffer during wars, but also nature. I think that nature becomes enormously polluted then. Dangerous substances leak out of explosions and enter the atmosphere, and the soil and, of course, the animals also suffer. I hope that people will realise what is happening to our planet as soon as possible and that we can do a lot together. People are constantly complaining about the political system. I don't know if this has any solution. But it will certainly help if there are road and fair people in politics. But such people are very hard to find. Everything goes easier with good state leadership. There are much nicer interpersonal relations between people in a given country, less quarrels and overall well-being. However, it should be remembered that small changes can be made by man for himself. Try to be better day by day and thus create a more beautiful future for yourself. I hope that the world will only go for the better.

Geluk in 2040

We are in 2040. The world has been transformed. Poverty and hunger are a thing of the past. Technology and humanity work together to create a society where everyone has access to healthy food, healthcare and education. We help each other without conditions, driven by empathy and shared responsibility. I walk through a city where people smile, where time is not money but a gift. I have found myself in this connected world, where my talents contribute to the well-being of others. I used to look for my place, now I know that my place is anywhere I can make a difference. Here, in 2040, happiness is not a privilege, but a right for everyone.

Les transports en commun à l’énergie solaire

I'm imagining public transport that would float above people's homes and whose stops would be accessible by ultra-fast elevators, leaving the public highway free for pedestrians. Of course, these vehicles would be solar-powered and therefore non-polluting. Cars and other motorized vehicles would no longer be able to enter the city center, and would instead use the ring roads, where gigantic multi-storey parking lots would provide access to public transport.
