I meet the beautiful morning of the year 2040 on the terrace of a social care home next to the river, among green trees. A holographic projector on the World News Channel has reported on the great strides being made in providing food for Earth's citizens. The generation of nutrients carries more than enough food. Thanks to the efforts of the European government, a large number of citizens who are no longer able to work actively are living a dignified old age in social care housing. In the welfare state environment, citizens contribute to the processes of the state to the best of their abilities. People actively participate in education and technology courses, which allows them to maintain their skills and keep up with the rapid development of technology. Most of the problems that triggered military conflicts have been resolved, and a large part of military spending is devoted to improving citizens' welfare and livelihoods. Developed countries are using renewable energy sources, and as energy becomes more expensive, more and more products are being developed to improve citizens' livelihoods and education. Increasing amounts of land are being reclaimed as environmentally friendly. International peacekeeping forces are successfully controlling the few remaining regions of the planet that are still vulnerable to conflict.

tulevaisuuteni vuonna 2040
In 2040, I imagine that the world will have changed significantly. Technological advances have brought smart cities, using advanced intelligent systems to manage traffic. Cars will drive themselves, and public transport will be fast and environmentally friendly. Energy production is based entirely on renewable sources, such as solar and wind power, which has significantly reduced carbon emissions. People's lifestyles have also changed. Health care is more personalised and technology can be used to anticipate illness before it occurs. Food culture has diversified, with vegetarian diets becoming increasingly popular. Community is important and people are spending more time outdoors in nature, which has improved well-being. All in all, the future looks promising and I hope it will bring peace and sustainable development.

It would be another weekend ahead. We could visit Berlin again. Or maybe Munich. It's so convenient these days, though, to be able to get all over Europe on high-speed trains. In the past, you had to fly or spend hours on boats to get from one place to another. Now, with tunnels and bridges and high-speed railways and trains from Turku to Stockholm and Helsinki to Tallinn, you can get to central Europe and beyond in a few hours.

Gut Zukunft ohne Waffen
It is very important to me that social issues are resolved and that I can draw a secure pension. The election results must be reflected in the majority of the population and there are no more right-wing parties like the AfD. People live happily and contentedly in their countries and there are no more wars, weapons and nuclear warheads are abolished and destroyed together.

In addition to peace in Europe and saving the climate, I want us to have stronger protection for dur. I envision a future where pets, wildlife and livestock are treated well throughout their life span. I see that with AI we have moved beyond the use of animals in experiments. As a fan of guinea pigs, I want modern knowledge on how to keep guinea pigs to be spread among the public so that these beautiful and friendly animals can thrive where they live. I want the unnecessary, commercial breeding of both guinea pigs and other animals to stop; we respect animals on the same level as humans and understand that animals have feelings and a social life just like us.
