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.

I would like people to have more time for themselves and for other people in the future; so that life does not run at such an insane pace; so that the work takes half a day, not the whole day and at the same time gives such earnings to live pleasantly and safely. I would like to live safely, not afraid of whether I can afford to maintain the apartment. I would like people to respect each other, to respect the environment, the Earth and animals; so that we have something to breathe, clean forests, rivers, lakes. I wish a cure for cancer could be found.

I have been retired for a few years and live a serene elderly life in my own home with my spouse. I don't have grandchildren because my own children didn't want to have children because they felt uncertain about the climate and the future. The carbon neutrality targets have finally been achieved, a few years later than planned, but much easier and cheaper than what was intimidated by the government parties in 2025. Right-wing parties have lost support and tolerance and understanding differences are commonplace. Immigration has increased with climate refugees, but it has also helped to keep the whole country inhabited. Agriculture is flourishing and our country is self-sufficient in grain. Thanks to wind, water and nuclear power, our country is also self-sufficient in terms of energy. Being at the forefront of the green revolution, the country has received a lot of investment that has been linked to the green economy, and that is why our economy has grown and debt is being paid off, rather than being increased. Young people's faith in the future is brighter than in years, and as a result of good health and economic policy, the world's population has turned to decline. It is no longer necessary to have children in order to ensure that old age is safeguarded. In every country, girls get to go to school and decide on their own body. I can quietly close my eyes and fall asleep in the afternoon sun for a moment and then get up to make an early dinner for myself and my spouse.

In the future, humanity has arrived at a time when we realize that we need each other. No one is anyone's enemy, no one is left alone, everyone is needed because there are tasks for everyone big or small. We tell each other stories and hang out. The time in front of all screens has been reduced.

The war in Ukraine is over. Russia is divided into 10-15 countries. Europe has a common armed force, high-tech, mobile. The EU is actively competing with the US and China in cutting-edge technologies, the economy has stagnated. Islam in Europe is banned and hopefully the Arabs in the Middle East are beginning to give up Islam. A-Europe has achieved R-Europe in economic development. Migrants who are not ready to accept Western culture, everyday life, laws should go to their countries of birth or where they are welcomed. AI intelligence and technological developments allow people to work less physically and devote more time to their development, creation, science, family, travel.
