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.

Schluss mit rassistischem Faschismus
I hope that Europe and the world have freed themselves from the current shift to the right and fascist tendencies and that we live in an open world. A world in which minorities are not excluded and threatened, but welcomed with open arms. A world without homophobia, racism, ableism and other forms of discrimination. A world in which people who need protection get it.

Nur Frieden
In this future world, there will be no more wars and violence. All people live happily together and are there for the weak. In this new world, there will be no need for police officers or prisons. Just as there will be no more weapons in the future. All people are simply peaceful because the criminal gene has been removed. No one will have to be afraid or worried about anything anymore.

Eine saubere Welt
In 2040, there will be more renewable, clean energy sources, cities will be greener and predominantly electric, self-driving vehicles will be on the road. People will distance themselves more from each other and meet mainly in the metaverse, local retail will hardly exist anymore, as VR and AI will make online shopping even more of an experience and, above all, more convenient, as you will no longer have to leave the house.

I hope that the future will bring something better, but I doubt it.I would like a world where people decide for themselves how they want to live, what they want to eat and drink.A world without a group of people deciding about the lives of others, like the EU and its members.A world that should offer work to everyone with adequate pay .So that people can live contentedly on their wages and be happy .So that they are not enslaved by debt because housing is not affordable.Also education for talented children when they don't have rich parents are out of luck .Simply put a fair world without a certain group of people enriching themselves at the expense of others as it is now .I don't want a world in which artificial intelligence will dictate.I don't want a world where normal food is replaced by artificial powders, as it is slowly being replaced now. I don't want a world where some domestic robot will dictate to me what to do and when to do it, and I don't want it to get worse and worse.
