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!

In 2040 we will no longer have to use keys to open doors or drive cars but will do everything with remote controls built into phones. So we will no longer risk losing them and we will consume less plastic. We will be more environmentally conscious, so we will revert more to using environmentally friendly means where possible-bikes-or public transportation because the new generation is very environmentally conscious. in our free time we will no longer read paper books because ebooks will become more popular. We will also change our diet with a focus on health. Hospitals will specialize in screening for prevention rather than treatment. the health service will take care of everyone with scheduled visits by specialists, and there will be a focus on alternative medicine in conjunction with traditional medicine. the political system, however, will continue to be corrupt and think only of its own interests at the expense of the community. Of course, not everyone will be like this otherwise who will sis saved?

Il futuro sognante
The future I would expect in 2040 points to people's awareness of having respect for nature and animals. Each house will be equipped with photovoltaic panels received from the incentives of the state and each country and each small fraction will have its own school so as to be able to have a united society and you will use less the car and more the bicycle. Next to the sidewalks will be planted trees so you will have oxygen and cool for the summer. There will also be respect towards the next and strange expanded , health services and saranni opened animal first aid. In southern Italy they will open ecological and green factories and give work to many people so they will avoid emigrating to the north and will remain in their country and there will be no more disparity between north and south.

IL RELAX NEL 2040
Finally the working week ends.... and since we passed to 30 hours a week we can enjoy the weekend much better... especially thanks to the many low coast flights that allow us at ridiculous prices to move me, my partner and our 2 dogs in every European capital, where we can indulge in large ecological and technological spaces..... settling in very basic apartments but equipped with every technological comfort and without moving a finger with only the use of our voice to fully enjoy all the comforts of the house, until we order in total relaxation every good god of food indulge in the most varied cuisines worldwide! Food aside to fully enjoy the city with all sorts of technological and green means of transport x us and x our furry

Water
Water continues to concern us. Many countries are already short of water. We really need to do something about that. The seas are full, and we are going to make sure that all this water can be turned into potable water, to the extent that we need it. So every country , every city and every person will be able to be supplied with potable water.
