The future - the word itself is so mysterious that it is very difficult to think about what might be behind it. Be it in the near future or much further away. If you think about it, it's an area that's a little close to your heart and a little familiar. The book world. Will there be more books in the future? There are already e-books and e-books. Or, on the contrary, we have returned to the present day, where the paper book still has a role to play. I would very much hope so. All I'd think about is - picking up a brand new book that smells of ink - waiting to see what content opens up in it. However, there are robots who will bring you a book and read it out. Good, comfortable, of course, but would you like to. Or maybe the robots are already so good that they don't have that metallic sound in their speech. They are also able to discuss what they have read. One thing is the emotion that comes from reading them, but another thing is also what the other (others) find in this text. There are probably no libraries anymore. Or, if it is, it has all retreated into the world of robots - service, communication, etc. Machines drive between bookshelves, find what you want, drive to the next robot, who will note it somewhere. There has to be an overview of where the books are. I feel like I'm going to become a robot myself, a marching step into the library, a book in a bag, thanks and the whole story. Communication regresses because there is no need for a large vocabulary. Robots are talented and advanced, but they don't replace humans. At the same time, we can't stand still and shout, we're already fine. In fact, it is.

Friedliches Leben in einer friedlichen Welt
The land is technically up to date. Taxes are levied fairly and everyone has almost equal space for themselves and a garden. Religions are banned, eliminating many differences. Thanks to fusion energy, sufficient energy is available everywhere at a very low price. Local and long-distance transportation has been reorganized and rationally planned so that punctual, clean journeys can take place reliably (like Switzerland or Japan now)

Europe, eine Zukunft in Wohlstand und Sicherheit
A united Europe in peace and with prosperity and security for all. A common security and defense policy, away from the USA, to show Russia's dictator the limits. Great Britain back in the EU, Ireland united and Ukraine the newest member of the community.

Ein Volk wird erwachsen
The year 2040 is a good year, because the pointless regulations from the EU are history - instead, competent people are taking care of really important issues such as education and research. As a result, the level of education will have risen again and people will have learned to question themselves and others critically and honestly.

A sustainable and peaceful Europe
In 2040, I envision a Europe that is sustainable, inclusive, and peaceful. The war against Ukraine has finally ended, and lasting peace has united nations. Clean energy powers our cities, and green spaces thrive with urban farms and vertical gardens providing fresh, local food. Transportation is fully electric, with high-speed trains and self-driving buses making travel efficient and accessible. Rural areas flourish thanks to smart infrastructure and digital connectivity. Education is more interactive, using virtual and augmented reality to create equal opportunities for all. Social equality is a reality, with fair wages, affordable housing, and universal healthcare ensuring a high quality of life. Communities are strong and diverse, embracing innovation while prioritizing human connection. Technology supports well-being, enhancing lives rather than replacing jobs. This is the future I hope for—a Europe built on peace, sustainability, and inclusivity, where we all thrive together.
