Europe and its countries reborn

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I would like that in 2040 we have more resources available than today (not less, as some progress haters try to convince the people of), people have higher purchasing power, the US is gone from Europe and democratic freedoms are upheld and expanded (no such things as vax passes, arbitrary anti-free speech laws or handling of ordinary citizens like criminals).

Authoritarianism is on the rise and unfortunately the people are accepting it out of fear for their health, which has served for politicians in power to seize the opportunity to erode the democratic process. Citizens' reaction is being like the slow-cooking frog fable: while thinking it's in a comfortable hot spring, in reality slowly cooking over a gentle burning fire after a while, the frog realises that it's being cooked, but it's already too late to jump from the pot.

More lively people, more accommodating to each other, less information being fed to people on TV and other info channels about people's deviant tendencies, lower taxes, easier for young people to buy homes to raise their children, more benefits for a decent life. Middle-aged people get good salaries for their work, peace and quiet everywhere. No one is experimenting on people, fewer diseases. Better quality of life and health. This is the period I would like to live in.

La mobilità del futuro
In those years mobility was finally no longer a cost or reserved for an elite. Commercial transportation was mostly left to railroads and aerial drones for the final routes. The biggest miss-understandg of the pandemic years, electric cars, was limited only to urban transportation such as cabs and car-sharing users. Diversification was leading the way and allowed everyone to find the best solution for their needs. One of the key factors had been the development of small solar panels allowed all the auxiliary systems of normal-powered cars to be kept running, allowing a significant increase in powertrain efficiency. This type of technology spread very quickly not because it was supported by incentives or other types of aid, it had caught on because of its convenience and the possibility of home-made installation by users with a minimum of technical knowledge. The introduction of fuels derived from industrial or agricultural waste had helped to achieve economic circularity.

I think AI will play a big part in the future and there will certainly be a lot of technology that we didn't expect to see. For example, there will be something like a medical computer, so when you go to the doctor you could just talk to a computer about what's wrong with you and it would send medicine to you at the pharmacy.
