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 would like to see a brighter future will less war and smarter political decisions on both national and global scale. I would like for pollution issues to be adresssed seriously, but I have a feeling that won't change and will only get worse. Overall, I wish to see happier and more care free people.

In the summer morning of 2050, when the sun will already warm the sky, people will rush into their daily work, but something will be different. Most of them will stop going to the offices and work remotely using virtual realities that will look like a real part of life. Although the pace of life will become faster, technological advances will allow you to significantly reduce the workload and open up more time for personal hobbies. The world of the future is not only created by innovation, but also renewed by human value. After climate disasters and planetary challenges, people will come together to fight environmental pollution. Sustainable technologies will emerge that will enable not only the purification of water and air, but also the creation of fully renewable cities that can grow and adapt to nature. The world will no longer be what we remember from the past: people will value relationships, empathy and cooperation more. Everyone will know that the future depends not only on technology, but also on our ability to grow as a community.
