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.

Bessere Mobilität und weniger Energie sorgen
Mobility will be somewhat different than it is today. In the meantime, there will be completely autonomous cars. In addition, local public transport will be largely free for everyone to use. The new cars will use a mixture of renewable raw materials as fuel, which are significantly more climate-neutral than conventional fuels made from fossil fuels. Almost everyone will produce their own electricity because the majority of residential buildings will have photovoltaic systems on their roofs.

Deutschlands Zukunft
In my future, Germany would not support all the laws that the EU decides in its arrogant omnipotence. Germany would decide for itself whether and how many migrants it wanted to have in the country. Then there would be no more violent foreigners in this country. The tax money earned by the citizens would be spent first and foremost on the needs of their own country and there would no longer be so much money flowing abroad. Germany would be more independent of the EU. And you can criticize the government without being stigmatized or punished

Jsem šťastná..
I woke up in the year 2040, greeting my robot, who is currently preparing breakfast, a cocktail of different colored capsules. He answers my greeting and informs me of the weather, again just sunshine without a cloud. Then watching the news from the world, the leaders of all the countries of the world are gathered and together they celebrate 10 years of peace, no wars, increased prosperity...I think to myself, amazing times.

Verpasste Chancen
Unfortunately, scientists' predictions and warnings about climate change have been ignored for decades and political decisions have been driven by profit interests. Historical opportunities to enable a good life for all people have been missed. Struggles over the distribution of water and resources were the order of the day, and good coexistence in society was nothing more than a myth told by the ancients.
