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 alegria da escola
Education would be tailored to the interests of each child and there would be subjects and courses geared towards what each child and young person wants to learn and/or perfect Education would be taken with more responsibility and more joy and everyone would go to school happier and there would be no high failure rates and all the professions of the future would gain better professionals

Dokonalosť
The world will be better organised, there will be systems for everything. It will be directed towards the welfare of the end customers, and those are always just people. People will be more considerate. There will be more rules. There will be a problem if you deviate from what is expected of you. Suffering will disappear. There will be a higher level of caring for people, but at the cost of having to obey. Nature will be for compulsory admiration. It will be like a huge sanitarium. It will be similar in manufacturing enterprises and companies. Everything will be sorted out, almost perfect, but boring. Small original communities will be ennobled.

Evropa čez 25 let
Over the next five years, Europe will recover from the energy crisis and accelerate the transition to nuclear and renewable energy. Artificial intelligence will largely automate industry. Massive protests will ensue over job losses. The European Union will expand into the Balkans. However, there will still be significant regional disparities. Climate change will increasingly affect extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, hail, etc. Migration will increase, which will increase political tensions, European discontent, violence,... Vehicles will become autonomous, as will homes, towns and cities. Europe will become a leader in quantum computing and biotechnology. The European Union and China will be leaders in technological innovation. America will start to lose its influence in Europe. The governance of most things will start to raise questions of human identity. Europe will remain stable politically and economically. New forms of control will emerge, but this does not necessarily mean a better future for the population.

Politický kolotoč.
The government leaders of the developed countries will finally come to their senses and find a way to reconciliation. But it is also up to the voters which government leaders they choose. This means that the voters must also start voting with reason. Which, of course, doesn't matter in the end, because most newly elected politicians will change during their term. They forget their promises and the voters feel cheated again, for the umpteenth time. Consequently, people will not change. Neither those who want to govern, nor those who elect them.
