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!

Futuro tecnológico
In 2040, I would like to see a future where sustainable technology dominates everyday life. Energy is 100% renewable, with smart grids optimizing consumption. Artificial intelligence and robotics are allied in health, education and work, guaranteeing quality of life and reducing inequality. Transportation is autonomous and clean, eliminating congestion and pollution. Space exploration is advancing, enabling lunar colonies and research on Mars. Digital privacy is protected by decentralized systems, and human-machine interaction is intuitive, making technology accessible to all.

I dont want this future, but it looks like the course is similar, cars are mostly electric, the national electricity grids cant take it, leading to blackouts. The infrastructure demand cant keep up. Influx of immigrants illegal of otherwise starts to put a now much heavier strain on Europe, civil unrest, because of the cultural differences and not willing to assimilate to local varied cultures. United states of America are a wasteland with Trump/Elon ar god emperor at the helm of a wreck of a once respected country. Nothing good happens anymore.

O lume utopică.
I would like to see a world where the most important thing is happiness, not wealth, not accumulated money. A world where we live in harmony with each other and with nature. A world where there is only one nation: Europeans. A world where we don't live in fear of a mad dictator telling us what to think and do. Unfortunately, this is only a utopia, because man has always done nothing but conquer the man next to him in order to take his resources, not realizing that life is very short and he will die very quickly. Leaving nothing behind.
