In 2040, Europeans have achieved digital sovereignity - all important digital services like search, cloud storage, messengers, social networks, video conferencing, etc. are offered from European data centers, adhering European privacy laws. This has happened after the EU decided to create a European foundation to fund free and open source software (FOSS). The foundation reached out to the European open source community, offering to host the two most-used FOSS packages in each category, plus supporting key members of the open source community (but participation in the development of this software was limited to European citizens). As a reaction to this offer, FOSS has taken a great leap and the European software has taken the lead in the world of FOSS. In addition to the services itself, supporting infrastructure such as encryption and authentication and auditing, is available as European FOSS to every citizen.

For example, every citizen receives European-verified certificates for encryption of emails, messages, or storage, for free. It's European infrastructure, paid by general taxes, like streets and education. Non-European citizens may buy access to this infrastructure.

In this future, Europeans may reap the benefits of computers and internet without being tracked and their data being sold by companies for company profits. Instead, the privacy of the individual person takes priority over profits.

There are a lot of fossil fuel cars on the road nowadays, although I am not a supporter of electric cars, but it would be ideal in the future to look for other alternatives besides electric propulsion, or to improve them. For example, LPG cars may be an ideal option; they exist today, but not to as great an extent as they could, and the starting price is also higher than for a conventional combustion engine. Another excellent alternative could also be hydrogen-powered cars, which would also have zero impact on the environment and our planet. We only have one home and we should protect it.

In 2040, I will be 70 years old. I will still be well and living a good independent life. Fortunately, I don't have to worry about ageing and declining health, because the elderly and other people in need are well looked after and their dignity is understood. There are small, cellular homes for older people where they have the security and companionship of each other and where they can get help or care when they need it.

If I live to see 2040, I hope that first of all there will be peace on earth, it's probably utopian to believe that such a thing will happen, as 2040 is not that long away. Peace on earth is a very big thought for our children, grandchildren and other living beings and descendants, however, it would solve many problems, but maybe it will also create new problems, some people live almost by peace on earth, even if it is strange to think this way. Imagine that we could all experience being able to move freely around our earth without having fear of war and unrest in mind, many people would have the opportunity to go out into the world to experience and not have to fear tomorrow

I think we will have endured a large war. At this stage Donald Trump will be thankfully dead or his body frozen to try and make a other come back. We will have a war unlike the last ones with countries unites that we hadn't seen. With America and Russia and possibly Korea as the " bad guys" . It could potentially be nuclear involved so the population will be decreased substantially. Northern Europeand northern lines will be the new tropical and temperature changes will be changed across the globe. People will eventually move accordingly. . Some areas will be too hot to keep living in so we may see population s decreasing in areas Like arizona. We will have new deserts.
