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!

Spuitje van de toekomst!
My future would mean that we would no longer die of cancer! That we find something that is injected at birth and we are cancer-free. Many people get this disease and are also going financially down. All the family (partner , family) will give up. It is a suffering that requires a lot of strength from the person with cancer. Both mentally and physically. Let's put money in there to develop something so that we never die of this terrible disease again. No money for IA!!! But use that money for cancer research. So that it disappears from the world. Cancer never exists again.

This is a morning of a new day. And every day starts with garbage sorting. Everything that comes into a house after being used should be carefully distributed into containers. Humanity has learned to approached shopping wisely. Nothing extra, only what is necessary. And to focus on practical side of goods. During shopping we think of utility, sorting and processing. Saving of everything (including water, forest, electricity, second life to goods) is becoming our target.

Saaremaa on uus Hispaani
In the future, there will be a nuclear power plant in Estonia that will produce clean energy for us. The offshore wind farms were abandoned and the state of the Baltic Sea continues to improve. In the Estonian marine area, there are additional areas that are in good condition. More and more people are working remotely and have moved away from cities to rural areas. In particular, Saaremaa draws as a place to live. The flight connections of the latter have further improved and it is easy to fly from Saaremaa to Europe. As easy as Spain. The climate has also become warmer, and grapes are grown and tasty wine is made in Saaremaa.

By 2040, transport will be sustainable, fast and efficient. High-speed trains like the Hyperloop connect cities in record time, powered entirely by renewable energy. Self-driving electric cars and shared taxis reduce congestion and parking problems. Cities are largely car-free, with wide cycle paths and smart running sidewalks that generate energy. Flying is more sustainable thanks to electric and hydrogen aircraft, while space travel is possible. Public transport is seamless and accessible, making travel faster and more environmentally friendly than ever. Thanks to these innovations, the air is cleaner, cities are greener and mobility is more efficient and pleasant for everyone. 🚀
