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!

I imagine that in 2040 there will be no more cars polluting the air, we will use renewable energy and the earth will be greener and healthier. We will be freer and happier. We will give up meat from animals raised in inhumane conditions and focus on quality not quantity. At least that's my hope.

I would like us to be able to move within the European Union with ease, without borders, without commitments and to feel the security that our country provides us. Like living in our country, but with different people, culture and especially new fresh ideas and images, from the beauty of each country.

AI 2040
From 2025 to the present day, AI has slowly and gradually entered the lives of everyone on the planet Earth. Increasingly displacing the role of man and seizing his functions. This has led to some positive phenomena such as the disappearance of corruption in the administrative area, but also to negative ones such as rising unemployment. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find jobs for people who are out of work because of AI.

Transport Then we'll have super fast trains that can get you anywhere in minutes and air travel will be the main mode of transport which will also be super fast. We'll have taxis that will be in the air and we won't need roads to get around so that world will be great speed will be important then..
