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.

Zaļā un inovatīvā kopiena
I imagine that by 2040 Europe will have become a model of sustainable development, where technology and nature coexist harmoniously. Cities will be green and energy efficient, every building will have solar panels and vertical gardens. Public transport will be fully electric and emission-free, and citizens will travel by autonomous vehicles or bicycles. People will be actively involved in decision-making through smart city technologies and e-democracy tools.

Notre planète, une priorité absolue
In 2040, the world will finally have realized that our earth is the priority and that it must be protected, but after all these years of political and economic amnesia about protecting our planet, biodiversity and water, I really hope that in 2040, we'll get there. For this future, I want an awareness that man is not the king of the universe and that all forms of life have the right to exist and be protected. I want: beautiful forests with diverse species, large mammals that are no longer on endangered species lists, clean rivers that are no longer channeled, agriculture that respects the soil, insects and therefore people.

EU der offen Zukunft
Europe a common country that stands for progress and freedom. Where people, regardless of their ethnic origin, can live and develop freely and where there are no more dictatorships and autocracies that continue to restrict life here. The former right-wing populism has become history and there is now only a Europe without borders and without individual states with open borders to the outside. The EU with Russia and Ukraine is one of the most important players in the world and there are no more trade wars with the USA and China. Climate protection is on track, the economy is booming and everyone is very happy to live in the European Union of the future. That would be my chosen future

So könnte eine vernünftige Zukunft aussehen
The focus must remain on migration, economic and social policy, and the voice of the citizen must be heard, possibly through referendums. The gap between rich and poor must close again and utopian salaries, whether in sport or politics, must be abolished. We need to return to our values, become less demanding and include the weaker members of society, because everyone is needed. School education needs to be completely overhauled, it can't go on like this. Cell phones do not belong in the classroom. People who look after people in a private atmosphere, be it children, the sick or the elderly, must be given credit for their time. The same applies to voluntary work in clubs, the fire department, etc. Everything must be distributed more fairly, then neither greed nor envy will arise. We should also pay more attention to the fact that the food industry is pushing food that makes us ill, which is really impossible. All in all, we should work more again, then we won't have bad thoughts. All problems are self-made.
