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!

A better way would be more investment/money in health care. It has gotten so much worse the last 15 years. Everything should be saved, the health care system is losing money every year, but give them more money then! Before, people were afraid of getting sick and how to handle it when they get sick. Nowadays you worry if you would even have time to see a doctor or if the doctor will take the time to even examine you properly. My better future would be more people working in healthcare. An accessible doctor and other healthcare professionals.

As far as health is concerned, I can imagine major advances: drugs will no longer have the place they have today, and we'll be able to treat illness with sounds, vibrations or colors. We'll certainly be able to age longer and in better shape than we do today. The infinitely small (cells) that constrain us will be better understood and apprehended. Money in general will no longer have the same impact on people's consciences as it does today, and will be seen as a tool for advancement, not a substitute for, or a means of dominating others. The basic choice will always be a product that respects the environment and the individual, at a price that is not exaggerated. Empathy, and all other positive human feelings, will be valued during school education, there will no longer be anyone left behind, the choice of professions will be made progressively from kindergarten so that children can change if it doesn't suit them. Free energy (electro-magnetic) will be widespread, we'll travel further and faster, interstellar travel will be frequent, and tourist trips to near-earth neighborhoods will be a daily occurrence. Expeditions further afield will be decided on a piecemeal basis, taking into account the risks to civilization, disease, invasion, etc... Human beings will no longer work as hard as they do today, robotics and AI will replace us in thankless tasks. Our activities will be motivated by passion and the pleasure of doing an activity, which means that progress will go much faster, with no more social, physical or international barriers. A universal wage will be institutionalized across the planet, with very little difference between the lowest and highest levels. Trade exchanges with other non-aggressive exogenous civilizations will be set up, exchanging technology, commodities and basic materials.

It has now been 16 years since my body "broke down." I had to give up music almost completely. Today's news finally brightened the colors of the future a little. Global peace is finally a reality. What seemed like utopias we are living them. No war, no difference. Human beings are united in the fight against disease. For me, like so many others, it is back to full physical efficiency. I will be able to return to playing my instrument and help those in need.Today we can say, "What a beautiful life!"

Peace in the world, that is what I wish for. No senseless wars waged by politicians who want to abuse their power without regard for the people. Our climate is much better than it is today. People no longer have to starve and everyone, including children, get support and prospects for their future. future. Diseases such as cancer can be treated successfully. All people respect each other. That the welfare of animals is secured.
