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!

För ett tryggare Europa
Hopefully, the whole of Europe will be a safer place. Just look at Poland, which has really succeeded in being a safer country. Girls should be able to walk on their own in the evenings without having to worry. Prison sentences should be harder than they are now, purely by seen jokes how low the sentences are. In addition, if you have applied for asylum, you will be granted a probationary period of 5 years. If you don't behave, you won't get a second chance.

Digital vård
I hope and believe that health care has taken big steps forward. As body worn smart devices, such as a wristwatch or a ring, become increasingly available, I see opportunities for these devices to be in direct contact with healthcare providers. I think that in the near future we will see smart devices that can take, for example, blood samples and analyze these and discover that something is not right, then the unit contacts caregivers and data can be transferred between both parties and finally the owner of the device gets information about their consent and what may need to be corrected / adjusted. In this way, we can detect diseases at an early stage and then also hopefully be able to remedy them.

Europe Led the World in Making Planet Earth Liveable Again
Fifteen years ago, most of the people of Europe were pessimistic about the environment and the looming climate catastrophe looked so real and imminent. But now in 2040, a glimmer of hope is emerging because the European nations got united and led the world in combating global warming. Now the waste management system has improved by leaps and bounds, recycling is a lot better, fossil fuels are replaced almost entirely by more sustainable alternatives, more trees are planted which resulted in more wildlife. These are the major improvements which the people of the world thought were impossible to make. Yet here we are enjoying a lot better climate which will only improve now that more people are united in making this planet more habitable for us and the future generations.
