Entre Saúde e Aprender, devia-se ter metido a colher.

In my view, this future will unfortunately have many aspects that have a tendency to get worse.
We can start with education: not only are children and young people constantly "glued" to their cell phones/tablets/computers, but due to the pandemic, students have fallen behind and don't have the same thinking skills as they did 10 or 20 years ago. To give you an example: I have completed a practical course in hospitality, and I was in charge of a trainee. On a day when an essential machine broke down, it wasn't a problem for me because I was taught how to obtain the final product, but manually. I learned from her that due to the pandemic they didn't focus on these subjects, and that the main thing was for the students to pass. So much for the "do-it-yourself" generation.
As for health, more and more private hospitals will appear, doctors from the SNS will leave for the same due to better conditions, which will mean that users will also feel obliged to resort to the same due to the weak state support for the SNS.
Transport, I believe, will improve over time: the constant increase in paid parking, the demand from users for public transport, and the increasingly scarce remote work will reach breaking point before 2030 and will require the purchase of more equipment, the renewal of tracks and materials and even more frequent use.

Le temps qui passe

The morning sun filtered through the dense foliage of the trees lining my Parisian apartment. Once a gray, noisy avenue, my street was now a verdant oasis, where birdsong replaced the roar of cars. The transformation of Europe had been radical. In 2025, we were on the brink of a climatic precipice. But a global awakening had taken place. Europe had embarked on an ambitious reforestation and sustainable development project. Cities were redesigned, and nature reclaimed its rights. Gasoline-powered cars disappeared, replaced by electric vehicles and efficient public transport. My day began with a bike ride along the old tracks, now transformed into winding cycle paths through parks and forests. Lunch consisted of fresh, local produce grown on rooftops and in community gardens dotted around the city. The afternoon was devoted to work, but even the offices were green and bright, with open coworking spaces and soothing views of the surrounding nature. Life in 2050 was slower, more conscious. We had swapped the frantic race for a pace more respectful of our environment and well-being. Europe had become a model of sustainable development, a society where technology and nature coexisted in harmony. And every day, I was delighted to have contributed, in my own small way, to this transformation.

Un espoir de bonheur collectif.

A European future capable of managing international crises with clear and precise objectives. Perhaps a new constitution less oriented towards a liberal economy (which doesn't mean freedom at all) but more towards respect for individual freedoms in relation to multinationals, more ecology, more autonomy in terms of food self-sufficiency. A greater capacity for energy autonomy, too, by being inventive in this area. Mass investment in research in this field would be an option. Regaining our pharmaceutical sovereignty would be reassuring. It would also be reassuring to see a return to social progress, and to stop blaming the weakest members of society (women, the unemployed, immigrants, etc.), who are not responsible for the crises we're going through. The culprits are the economic system (mainly liberal) and over-protected professional politicians. Limiting personal fortunes might be an interesting way of avoiding an oligarchic drift.

2040 début de la sobriété énergétique

on january 1, 2040, the european union will ban all individual vehicles, whatever their mode of propulsion. Subsidies have been distributed European citizens to invest in bicycles, be they 2-wheelers, 3-wheelers or family sedans. All cities are pedestrianized, and to get from one city to another, or from one country to another, numerous train and streetcar tracks have been created. The entire agricultural system has been overhauled and intensive productivity banished. Sobriety is on the march

Leben in 2040

As I'm getting older, I want to live as lightly as possible. Less work in the garden and more relaxing on the terrace. Everything should be as easy to reach as possible, i.e. shopping facilities, doctors, hospital, swimming pools, physiotherapy practices, etc. There are also plenty of "meals on wheels", as people hardly ever cook for themselves anymore. Cabs should be free so that people are a little less dependent on public transport. Everything should be easily accessible on foot or in a wheelchair.
