Family first

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040 I will have a 19, a 24 and 26 year old. I hope that we are able to stay close as a family. We would be able to live in close proximity with each other so I can help my children start their own lives. House prices are more reasonable so they don't have to move far away. I can see them often, child mind my grandchildren and travel with them. I don't want my children to be swamped with debt from huge mortgages, I want them to be able to continue their careers after having children and not have to give up work because of lack of affordable childcare. I us to able to travel together both locally and on ferry to France and UK without it being cheaper to get a flight to Spain for a week than stay locally for a weekend. I want our local government to put people first, building communities instead of just houses. I want my children not to have to worry about going to the doctors because it's too expensive or where will their children go to school because there isn't enough spaces for the amount of houses built. I want my children to be happy and to be able to make memories with them. I want my future to be family!

It doesn't hurt to dream
It's 2040 and I'm 74 years old. I'm still strong and healthy, thanks to my exercise routine and new technologies (vaccines, vitamins, and procedures). I still work as a lecturer and consultant for companies and organizations. Europe is increasingly rich and diverse, with many immigrants from different cultures. Languages

Utopia
Everyone is equal and everyone can live the life they want without negative interference. As long as that lifestyle does not hurt others. The number of cars on the streets has decreased considerably, while the number of green spaces has increased. Artificial intelligence is finally being directed in the direction it should be: to do everyday tasks so that people have more time to express themselves and enjoy life. Not like now, where AI does "art" and stuff to give people more time to do chores.

Vision of the world after World War III
In 2040, after the end of World War III, the world begins to rebuild. Unfortunately, we have irretrievably lost all of our human achievements, all of the technologies that were so important to us. You could say that we have to start from scratch again. Fortunately, in addition to the destroyed technology, there are many engineers left in the world who, I hope, will soon bring us to the point where we had to stop everything. There is something more important. People who survived this war are more united than ever. Origin, race or skin color have ceased to matter to us. With the fall of technology, terrorism and fascism have fallen. We are one nation in the world, on which now depends what our world will look like in the future.

Zusammenhalt der Gesellschaft dann könnte vieles gut gehen !
There should be much more cohesion, fairness and social justice in the future so that a reasonable life is guaranteed again. Of course, the environment, nature and climate must also be taken care of, I just hope that the whole of society is committed to this and not that by then there will again be such green madmen who want to determine alone what is to be done! I assume that I won't be able to witness how the situation has changed at this point in time, but we must not give up hope for improvement!
