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.

Slovenija v svetu 2050
Slovenija se je kot majhna država znašla med letoma 2025 in 2035 v velikem gospodarskem, političnem in družbenem pritisku. Vojne in trgovinska napenjanja mišisic najmočnejših igralcev na geopolitičnem odru sveta so Slovenijo potisnile v tok svetovnega dogajanja na kategerega sama ni mogla vplivati. Trpela je velik upad življenskega standarda in blaginje svojega prebivalstva. Vladajoče politične strukture tega niso bile sposobne omiliti, saj so same bile vpete v sistemsko korupcijo, ki je močno vplivala na razvoj države. Med letoma 2030 in 2040 se globalno stanje tako poslabšalo, da je slovenija kot država po razpadu evropske unije komaj obstala. Podnebne spremembe so močno prizadele tudi slovenijo. Pridelki so padli v količini in kvaliteti na globalni ravni in povzročili kritične težave v globalni oskrbi s hrano. Le ta je privedla do globalne družbene revolucije, ke je v večini držav zrušilo obstoječe vladajoče strukture. Države niso imele več vodij ampak je umetna inteligenca koordinirala različne družbeno storitvene sektorje kot so zdravstvo, varovanje ljudi in premoženja, gospodarstvo itd. Uveden je bil univerzalni temeljni dohodek na globalni ravni, ki je ljudem dal isto izhodišče za življenje. Slovenija se je temu prilagodila in tako kot država leta 2050 tudi obstala.

Töötamine tulevikus
Inimesed ei sõltu enam nii palju enam igapäevatööst. Elu võetakse lihtsamalt ning ei elata palgapäevast palgapäevani. Tööandjad on aru saanud, et traditsiooniline kella kaheksast viieni kontoris tiksumine ei ole mõistlik. Tööd tehakse vastavalt eesmärkidele. Kui eesmärgid täidetakse varem siis saavadki töötajad rohkem puhata ning tegeleda enda harimise ja hobidega. Üheski ettevõttes pole enam viiepäevast töönädalat, maksimaalselt on neli tööpäeva, millele järgneb kolm puhkepäeva. See tõstab töötajate efektiivsust ning ei toimi enam töö juures logelemist. Tööandjad õpivad väärtustama töötajate vaba aega ning ka töötajad on seetõttu tööl rohkem pühendunud ning töö ajal kõrvaliste tegevustega ei tegeleta.

The future could improve for all of us if remedies could be found for some still deadly diseases including,cancer.I hope that in 2040 the diseases that lead to certain death i short time can be defeated and that research will give the results we all wait for.If those who have no hope today could be cured with drugs or targeted surgery it would be the ideal solution for a happy future for so many families who hear death sentences.I hope that within fifteen years this will happen and that it will not remain a dream.
