In my childhood in the 70's and 80's, the view of the world was very marked by the consequences of World War II. There was East and communism on the one hand and democracy and freedom on the other. NASA's lunar program was still in fresh memory and the development of computers happened at a rapid pace. Then the wall fell to the east all saw a common future towards the turn of the millennium and beyond. But something happened to the seeming and understanding of democracy. Russia fell back to the soviet era and in the United States became a convicted criminal president and will force the world to play by his rules. Fortunately, free Europe and the rest of North and South America were united so that his ideas had the most damaging effects in his own country.
It's been years and the world has changed for the better. Everyone can still remember the economic consequences for virtually the entire world, with the United States probably no one right now forgets the "second great depression". The world is once again working together to solve our common challenges. And yet it worries if the story is remembered: If we do not permanently defend and fight for not only our own freedom but also the freedom of others, democracy will quickly come under pressure. And I'm still waiting for a flying car and space tourism. However, the new computers are impressive even though there are very few people who can really understand how they work. They're almost human.

Czy to bajka, czy nie bajka?

A better future... We drive electric cars, and electricity to them is provided by wind and nuclear power plants. Non-organic plastic replaced glass, in a garbage incineration plant with efficient filters made waste pits finally unnecessary. The air in Polish cities is suitable for breathing even in winter, and in summer we are not afraid of drought and lack of water. And instead of arming, we spend money on health protection and equal opportunities for children and adolescents. All this may be possible, but I'll put it between the fairy tales...

Den gröna framtiden

I would like to see a future where there has been a major change for the benefit of the environment and the future of the planet. Solar, wind and hydropower have replaced fossil energy sources. Buildings, houses, etc. are equipped to be self-sufficient both in terms of energy and, for example, basic raw materials such as potatoes and the like. Public transport has switched entirely to electric vehicles and there are incredible high-speed trains that can compete with flights between major cities.

Naturen er reddet

You have invented a technology that effectively breaks down CO2 from the atmosphere and you are back to a world without climate change. The gardens are healthy with beautiful coral reefs and full of fish. In the North there is winter with long periods of snow. Farther south in Europe there are rarer forest fires and normal amounts of rain that give good breeding. There are no climate refugees. They appreciate nature more and seek it out often. Animal welfare is also an important focus area and you eat less meat. Smartphones and computers are used less often, and you are less accessible by phone/mail both privately and at work.

Podróże w czasie

In 2040, the world looked very different than it did twenty years ago. Poland has become a peaceful, safe and united country around common values. The streets were clean, the cities well organized, and people lived in harmony, valuing their traditions and culture. There was an atmosphere of tranquility in the towns, with children playing in the backyards without fear, the elderly walking in the parks, and the neighbours knowing each other and helping each other in their daily lives. Local communities thrived and small family businesses thrived, supported by modern technologies and a conscious approach to the economy. There were no problems with crime or riots. The authorities have made sure that the country develops in a sustainable and safe way. Young people had good prospects – they could educate themselves at a high level, develop their passions and be sure that they would find a decent job. Thanks to a wise economic policy, Poland became self-sufficient – agriculture flourished, domestic companies produced modern technologies, and people enjoyed stability and prosperity. Society was united, proud of its history and ready to build the future in accordance with its own values. In the evening, sitting on the terrace of his house, John looked at the quiet streets and felt gratitude. He knew that his children were growing up in a world where they could feel safe, respect their roots and build a better future for generations to come.
