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.

Hoffnungsloslotterie
My child will be 17 years old, his hair will probably no longer be blonde, but darker. But no one will be able to tell that he is different, no one will ask him where he comes from or his parents or when he learned German because of his face. I wish so much that in 2040 he doesn't have to worry and can openly say that he is Jewish. That his name is Hebrew and not Greek, that no one will attack him, that he can grow up without a packed suitcase in his heart. I hope and hope, even if it is difficult for me, I hope that the future will be better.

Illusion
After the world sank into a right-wing quagmire for many years in 2025, many states, including Russia, the USA and China, asserted their interests by force of arms. Now, in 2050, the world's population has finally changed its mindset and the right-wing governments have almost all been replaced. Nations live together peacefully and engage in lively economic and cultural exchange.

Fare taxes for faxe life
The ideal future would have less injustices, starting from the government level. We are explored by the country administrations, where we are taxed on everything, and no improvements can be seen. Many companies and individuals would be more whealthy and produce more if a faire tax system would be implemented. Companies would not be paying abusive taxes on when buying supply, selling the products, on the revenue and on the investiments. In 2024, the industries would not be bankrupted because of the high taxes. Corruption would be banned and the collected money used to provide a correct social live to everyone. New jobs would be generated as the hiring power would be increased.
