Meanwhile it is Christmas and I am very old. It's not so bad: I could leave whenever I want, but with the help of medicine and science I live quite well. My grandchildren are adults and have graduated or almost graduated. Society doesn't look much like it did in the 1920s. The economic level has dropped ( but is acceptable) in what is the European Union and the USA. On the other hand, countries that were once emerging have grown. This has brought great changes in all areas, even the most mundane ones such as our eating habits. Home gardens, recycling, and the reuse of everyday objects have grown. Manual labor in one's garden or vegetable garden is quite important for one's well-being, partly because at home most household chores are automated. Work trips are also minimized.
