Things should definitely be more peaceful in 2040. Palestine could have its own state, Kurdistan too and Russia has a new leader who is pro-European. Taiwan is still autonomous and independent of China. Europe has moved even closer together and speaks with one voice. IS no longer exists.

Europe of the future should be a continent free of people. Primeval forests and wild animals will cover the continent as they did in the past. Hopefully at some point all the remains of inglorious humanity will have rotted away. Then the planet will find peace again, provided that humanity quickly eliminates itself, Covid19 didn't work, it's also tough with the war, but it will work out eventually. Important prerequisites such as self-centeredness, stupidity and arrogance have already been met.

in 2040, I'll be 90....what to imagine ???? It's not easy. At that age, you don't need many things any more, but I'd still like to be able to do my own housework without any outside help, take my dog for a walk in the morning and then put my nose to the computer to do my surveys to improve my small pension. In 2040, maybe there'll be self-driving cars, so I'll be able to keep my autonomy on that side too.... go out and celebrate with the family and be able to return home quietly without fear of being checked. Health worries would be a thing of the past, and there would be plenty of preventive means to prevent any illness. Cancer would be vanquishedCOPY00and many other diseases .... There would be no more rich or poor, and even fewer homeless. Pets would be protected by compulsory microchips, so that anyone who 'loses' their pet could be traced.

I would like to find myself in a peaceful future where technology has increased but where a fixed income for people has been created since many jobs are gone. A secure future of equality. In which transportation is fast and efficient and in which we no longer need to learn languages but use automatic voice translators. I hope for a future in which man really has time to live and does not have to work 12 hours a day to survive. A future where we no longer have to be afraid of diseases such as cancer and where the average life span is much higher than it is now. I also hope that we no longer have to worry about climate change and that we have been able to solve the problem by learning to live with the planet. At the same time I believe that we will continue to search for other planets with conditions compatible with life, and I hope that even just 20 years from now interplanetary travel will no longer be just the subject of science fiction movies. In all of this, however, I unfortunately believe that the weakest, poorest and most fragile populations will be crushed as the Earth's population cannot continue to grow by leaps and bounds, and situations such as Covid will increase and be the order of the day. Economic disparities globally will increase.
