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!

Eiropa. Visi esam vienoti
It's 2040. There is peace in Europe. Education systems have been set up in Europe, linking its Member States to each other. Every European citizen is able to travel freely in Europe, get an education not in their home country, and also exercise their profession. Moving to another European country is not a difficult process, but an opportunity open to every European.

I assume that by 2040 scientists will conduct definitive tests on new methods of treatment for diseases that were once considered incurable. Most people will lose their jobs due to robotization. People will move on to work online. Many professions will disappear, as robots will perform tasks in place of humans. Scientists will discover a remedy against aging, such as a rejuvenating vaccine or pills, and people will stop resorting to plastic surgery to look younger. Aesthetic interventions will only be performed to correct the appearance, if necessary. Devices will become thinner, but also smarter and faster. Perhaps it will be possible to perceive the smells through the screen, and maybe even shake hands virtually. Education will gradually move to online. People will spend less and less time in face-to-face meetings. Food can be printed with 3D printers, and animals will no longer be killed for meat. The problem of poor harvests will disappear completely.

Wunsch oder Wirklichkeit?
For the future in 2040, I wish for a peaceful world where people coexist with each other but also with flora and fauna. By increasing networking and further development until then, AI occupies a significantly larger space in everyone's life. Wherever you are, everyone has their personal AI at their side. Cars communicate with each other, accidents are a thing of the past.

mejorar nuestro bienestar
I would like it to be more sustainable and that we all contribute to give more importance to nature and be more communicative between ourselves in person and not so much technology and that we see a healthier and more sustainable future and that we give more importance to infections to have greater control between us and the professional part to maintain control and return to pandemics for interest and to be able to be more human without looking at the ideology or where it comes from and with a healthier economy through all states and without wars.
