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 a future with machines capable of treating us quickly without the need for a doctor. Greater security, with no more delinquency. A world without war, without famine, so that everyone can live in a decent environment. That we're in touch with nature, with more greenery, less concrete, and animals living in a better world.

The school. Schools would be freer, there would be rest rooms for students, classes would be longer, and lunch breaks would also be longer. Teachers would use less textbook tasks and give students more project work and vital tasks that stimulate the brain and provide skills and knowledge for real life.

I live happily on the shore. At the end of winter, I can put my small sailboat back in the water to go back fishing and enhance our food. All winter we ate what we sown and harvested. We live comfortably in a self-contained house (roof panel, water recovery). The entire global power grid has been shut down since the various wars. Everyone must manage alone or in community. The more no industry, the more nothing works; everything has to be done again, we find ourselves at the same level as our grandparents in their time. The world has been destroyed by wars, artificial intelligence. The positive aspect is the return of nature and nature, the work of its hands, safety and community life.

Unfortunately, the very things you need for life are becoming expensive. I hope that in the future people, including myself, will be able to live a better, carefree life without regulations, no high rents, affordable food, affordable healthy support, which should actually be a matter of course!!!
