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!

Ihmiskunnan täydelliseen tuhoon
There was an explosion in the beginning. The sound and the pressure wave were something I couldn't describe. We were sitting outside in the garden. We understood that the end of mankind had begun. Telephones, computers; Everybody's mute. The electricity didn't work either. There was no movement anywhere; No people, no cars, no animals, nothing. We heard something about the old radiator radio. Strange clicks, ticking: Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tue Tu Yeah, that's right. Who would save our souls? No one, no one.

Techonology is future
In 2040, I would like all the energy to be clean and easy to have. Oil is replaced by new energies. Electricity would no longer cost anything and houses could produce on their own. Electricity is accessible to all and all means of transport have become electric.

Changing
Artificial intelligence has replaced all the cleaning, accommodation and maintenance of the house that were previously human, increasing the free time to devote to what we prefer. You can work remotely in all trades and working hours are flexible, so as to reconcile community and family life with work

Une Journée en 2040 : Le Réveil d’un Nouveau Monde
But it is not just technology that has evolved. Between 2025 and 2040, society changed profoundly. The economic system has been completely reformed. The work as we knew it disappeared in its traditional form. The majority of human tasks have been handled by artificial intelligence and robotisation. People are now focusing on their personal development, creativity and social activities. The concept of "work" is no longer defined by a fixed job, but by a commitment to collaborative projects or community initiatives. Wealth is more equitably shared, and poverty has been eradicated through universal allocation systems and redistribution of resources.
