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 the future, mobility across Europe will be easy and ecological, while also taking into account rational pricing. This will allow people to have a wider experience across Europe and a better understanding of different cultures, which will support diversity and understanding of other people and diversity. Europe is joining forces to be greener, making Europe the most ecological continent. This will require a commitment from all countries and the development of science in a more ecological direction. Living conditions have improved everywhere and people are living well. Easy mobility also means that people have better opportunities to move around Europe for work and life.

In 2040 I will be 70 years old I will have a career behind me I hope to be healthy and have an adequate pension , that's what everyone hopes humanity is facing a huge change, there is artificial intelligence nature is not doing well and there is also the shadow of a major war in the air. There is great fear for the future, by 2040 the glaciers will have melted massively and many areas will be submerged, I remember my trip to the Maldives and I am sorry that the place where I used to holiday no longer exists. Humans have become stupid, I think about how things that used to be so simple cause so much headache for people today, home cooking is impossible to do without AI instructions, no food is real anymore, Christmas ham has turned into a soy cricket tofu mix manipulated by the ham flavour sex gene, thankfully I can remember how it used to be and I feel sorry for my children's children when they don't experience the same. My picture of the future is bleak because human memory is short and does not learn from its mistakes everyone knows what to do but the world has been taken over by a new religion and its holy trinity is power, markets and money.

In the year 2040, humanity has come a long way in the history of mankind.People all over have rebelled against authoritarian regimes, changed the world system by their protests against constant wars.Guns have been laid down and peace has reigned over the entire earth. The use of conventional money ceased and poverty disappeared.Insucgnu people had just enough of everything, neither too much nor too little, to live a peaceful comfortable life

My best future would be an environment where everyone is better off, from an environmental, health and economic standpoint, not so much from a social standpoint, understood as socialist, but from the standpoint of physical, mental and environmental well-being, where there are still differences, but everyone lives in peace with everyone.
