In the year 2040, I hope above all that there will be peace all over the world and that we will act together for the benefit of humanity and nature and that all people and nations on earth will live together in peace and that there will be prosperity for all and that there will be as few armed conflicts as possible but that everyone will act together in diplomacy and wisdom. There will be no more internal combustion engines, only modern cars that move around with a kind of modern drive technology that works without internal combustion engines. In 2040, a lot of work will be done from home because it will no longer be necessary to go to work; instead, people will be able to do all the essential things from home and then spend the day with their families. In 2040, many things will be automated thanks to AI technology, which will have replaced the majority of human work by then so that people can devote themselves to their hobbies or other private wishes. Everyday life will be characterized above all by AI, but in the end humans will still be in control, checking and ensuring that everything runs smoothly. In the year 2040, mankind has succeeded in pushing back climate change as far as possible, partly due to the use of new AI technologies and, of course, with the help of modern protection systems, which above all protect natural landscapes and the oceans. There is absolutely no more plastic - everything is transported in special containers made of plant fibers or wood, for example, or eaten and drunk from them. There are also no more books, everything takes place in the digital world, so that paper can also be saved. More fruit and vegetables are grown and eaten and less meat. In the care sector, there are now modern home robots that support people in caring for the elderly throughout the day. In addition, cars no longer drive on the road below but move in the air above and fly around like spaceships. Mankind has also recognized the danger of nuclear weapons and has already begun to scrap all nuclear weapons on earth. In 2040, there will therefore only be a small number of nuclear weapons left, but they will no longer be used. The oceans are now plastic-free again and there are enough fish in the sea again. In addition, all harmful chemicals that damage or pollute the environment are now banned all over the world. Women now have the same rights as men, earn just as much as men and hold high-ranking positions in business, politics and society. In medicine, too, it has been possible to treat and eliminate all diseases through the use of state-of-the-art AI technology. And as mentioned earlier, wars will no longer be fought in the future, i.e. in 2040, but conflicts will be resolved politically through diplomacy. In 2040, the climate has largely recovered and temperatures are reasonably pleasant and bearable.

Zukunft für Deutschland
In the future, Germany will once again be the hub of Europe. Migration and education are the pillars of the economy. Germany is independent of the USA, Russia and China. Innovation is a top priority and strongly promoted. Agriculture is only grown organically. Great importance is attached to sustainability. Ownership structures are being reorganized; tenants are given the chance to buy their rented apartment. Community life is similar to that of a cooperative. One for all, all for one. The healthcare system is being reorganized. The amount of one's own participation plus the subsidy from the state makes up the security. The more participation, the higher the subsidy. This also applies to the pension system. Germany is once again a popular vacation destination. The defense of our country consists of conscripts, volunteers and professional soldiers. Alternatively, there is civilian service. Major decisions are made by the people. Decision-making processes are much shorter. This should be feasible within 48 hours. We can talk about green landscapes again in the future.

Europas Werte
Europe should become more independent and self-confident. Nations that slide to the right should be excluded. Those who do not share the values of democracy and are only interested in profit should leave the EU. If this spirit prevails again, Europe will also have good prospects for the future,

DRUGACNOST
I am now living in 2040 and my children are facing a very different world. All lessons are only half an hour. All lessons are done behind computers and strange electronics. The weather has also got better, it very rarely rains and snow falls in abundance during the winter. The climate is controlled by us humans. We have also got medicines for almost everything (cancer, covid). The world has changed completely
