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!

The future will be better in every way. Education is available for more people, food is for those in need and its quality is better. 2040 has also brought emissions under control so that air quality in Europe is better and ecology is automatically taken into account in all activities. Particular attention is paid to the emissions load of industry and transport. Air travel will be reduced and rail, ship and bus traffic will be favoured. Human rights are also reaching more and more people in the world, and equality is also growing in terms of access to education. In general, the world is moving in a better direction from the present.

Vieles hat sich zum Guten entwickelt
I am very happy that my family is doing well both financially and healthily. My two daughters have their own family and can take the upbringing into their own hands and do not have to give my grandchildren at the age of 1.5 in a crawling room or in a full-time school. The women get enough support from the state so that they can divide themselves whether and how many hours they work or do home office. As a grandma, I can see the grandchildren at any time and they benefit greatly from the presence of all family members. Also the medical care or nursing staff has become much better than 20 years ago. Technical development has not increased as rapidly as in recent years and we are not only served by robots.

Being 'Woke' Is Being Nice
People would be free to be whatever sexaulity they wanted and could live in peace. They wouldn't have to be fearful of repercussions from kissing their partner in public and showing affection. Their existence wouldn't be subject to debate. Their sexaulity would be mainstream. I don't understand heterosexuality but I see it everyday. Noone ever questiosn why this sexuality is okay to be on TV and children aren't affected but homosexuality or other sexualities would be 'detrimental'. Diversity would be appreciated and understood. It wouldn't be seen as woke to be nice to people.

speriamo bene, ma ne dubito!
I would like natural intelligence to return to use in the future, rather than artificial intelligence, and to return to creating and shaping the dreams of each of us , while re-educating our young people and children to use, and cultivate their intelligence. We remove social networks and all the nonsense, evil and illegality that circulate in them.
