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.

Und die Welt lebte glücklich und zufrieden bis in alle Ewigkeit ohne Hass und Missgunst
After the short-term shift to the right in politics in 2025, people realized that hatred and intolerance were NOT the right choice and came to the conclusion that understanding each other is the only way to a happy future. It has finally been recognized - without pressure from politics - that the oppression of minorities and exclusion are not acceptable in living together on this planet. The new German government and the EU have now "picked up" all citizens who felt misunderstood and have been able to persuade them to work towards a common future. And last but not least, it should be mentioned that economic interests and nature conservation have also reached a common level and a win-win situation due to people's insight and technological development.

non merci Moi et ma famille vivons bien c'est le principal
I hope I'll still be here in 15 years' time My ideal is for everyone to be rewarded for their efforts, and for all human beings to live in their own countries But one very important thing for me is that lazy people should not be paid at all.

FUTURO SIN OLVIDAR EL PASADO
The best future should take into account all the past, take and preserve the best of the past generations, they are the ones that have always forged the future and without them the future is not very flattering. There is less and less interest in maintaining traditions and more interest in economics. There is very little respect, ethics and morality are at rock bottom, and politics prevails over social issues. There are many changes, yes, but the road ahead is long and winding. The extreme right is making its way by leaps and bounds throughout Europe, and that only represents one thing, the weariness of society, falling into the euphemisms proposed by the extreme right in a system of ignorance of society, which wants changes, less corruption, more resources, fewer politicians, less waste and more concern for the native people of each country. It is necessary to help the foreigner but it is necessary to control such aids...it is a nonsense. The future in Europe has to change and I hope that in 20 years, or less, it will be like this.
