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!

Utopie?
I'd like the future to be more relaxing than the present day, for us to live more in harmony with nature, for people to be less materialistic, more equal. That teleportation would be the major mode of transport, with no pollution and no wasted time. I'd also like to see culture and reflection take precedence over possession, conquest and power. A more peaceful society.

Informazione è futuro
I would like a better future, but that's a rather trite phrase to say, so I'll elaborate...I hope for a future with less ignorance, one that ensures equal education for all and equal access to information for all, so that we can share discoveries, improve ourselves, compete, and face every challenge that this future holds.

Rational consumption
I would like to see our world still there and the wellbeing of people has imprived as well as a enviromental situation, it would be great if the political situation would be stable and people would figure out how to avoid war conflicts. People have made some decisions over their financial well being and made some sacrifices in their consumption traditions which allowed to overcome ecocrisise. Finally some major changes in education have been made and the way to educate new generation has changed

Mission impossible
this is a very difficult exercise Europe is an amalgamation of many diverse cultures and peoples, each with its own orientation and its own language and culture this is the priority so make Europe a real unity with one people, one culture, maybe even one language but perhaps this is a mission impossible because each nation wants to preserve its individuality. Tolerance, cooperation,adaptability, strong will to succeed and above all strong leadership showing the way
