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.

Il mondo pulito
A better future is ecological, full of health and without fear of getting sick. Land protection is at the heart of the progressive future it expects. A world without waste. But full of recycling, where nothing is worn and everything is used.

Tulevaisuus on parempi
The future will be better in every way. Education is available for more people, food is for those in need and its quality is better. 2040 has also brought emissions under control so that air quality in Europe is better and ecology is automatically taken into account in all activities. Particular attention is paid to the emissions load of industry and transport. Air travel will be reduced and rail, ship and bus traffic will be favoured. Human rights are also reaching more and more people in the world, and equality is also growing in terms of access to education. In general, the world is moving in a better direction from the present.

Vieles hat sich zum Guten entwickelt
I am very happy that my family is doing well both financially and healthily. My two daughters have their own family and can take the upbringing into their own hands and do not have to give my grandchildren at the age of 1.5 in a crawling room or in a full-time school. The women get enough support from the state so that they can divide themselves whether and how many hours they work or do home office. As a grandma, I can see the grandchildren at any time and they benefit greatly from the presence of all family members. Also the medical care or nursing staff has become much better than 20 years ago. Technical development has not increased as rapidly as in recent years and we are not only served by robots.

Being 'Woke' Is Being Nice
People would be free to be whatever sexaulity they wanted and could live in peace. They wouldn't have to be fearful of repercussions from kissing their partner in public and showing affection. Their existence wouldn't be subject to debate. Their sexaulity would be mainstream. I don't understand heterosexuality but I see it everyday. Noone ever questiosn why this sexuality is okay to be on TV and children aren't affected but homosexuality or other sexualities would be 'detrimental'. Diversity would be appreciated and understood. It wouldn't be seen as woke to be nice to people.
