Happy because I belong to the generation that designed the future

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I have lived through many different phases that have changed the standard of living around the world. At the age of 10 I played football all summer, at the age of 20 I had many open universities in front of me, at the age of 25 I started my family. I worked in a bank where everything was done by hand and when I left the bank everything was electronic. Today I work in a biotechnology company and I am sure that 5 years later, the health system will be too better and deferent. Today I see my grandchildren playing football but also watching YouTube. In 2040 (I do not know if I will still be here), I hope health, education and transport have gone uphill. The impact on them will be the environment and the better life of the citizens through the peaceful coexistence of peoples.

We all live in a world w here our environment is much better and the forests are slowly coming back to life. There are fewer dead trees because the air is cleaner and less polluted with CO2. We have found various ways of producing less CO2 and removing it from the air. Private transport still exists and it is not just electric cars that are on the road. Overall, cars have become much smaller again because nobody needs such large vehicles anymore. People in large cities are also using bicycles of all kinds much more, so the number and width of roads has been significantly reduced. Everything is much greener. Wind, water and solar energy is widespread and can be produced and stored in sufficient quantities. Coal-fired power plants have been largely abolished and nuclear power has not been developed further. Heating has been reduced to a reasonable level in relation to oil and gas because these options have been significantly improved and produce even fewer emissions. People live much more with each other than against each other. The economy is still doing well because less unnecessary things are produced and goods last much longer and can even be repaired. Agriculture produces in reasonable quantities without doing so in places where, for example, water is not available in sufficient quantities for plants, people and animals.

The future of Europe, I hope, can be oriented toward the pursuit of the least possible environmental impact, the pursuit of scientific progress in the medical field, greater integration among peoples and less financial inequality among people, more attention to civil rights

Pollution would finally be falling, and a real awareness would have taken place everywhere (Europe and the rest of the world). No more active military conflicts in Europe and as few as possible in the rest of the world. Politicians would at last be willing to act for the good of all, and not for their own personal gain. Leaders would take a long-term view and not just look ahead to election dates...

The European Commission, that group of liberal satraps, has at last been replaced by democratically elected leaders, their cowardly behavior in the face of Russia having discredited them and led to a revolt by the nations that refuse to accept the expansion of the Ukraine they have maintained at arm's length, to the detriment of their agricultures, invaded by low-end products. Nations that came only to benefit from subsidies have been ejected, and are content with a free-trade agreement. Great Britain joined the Union as an observer. The bankruptcy of the German system and its coal-based energy finally made it possible to dispense with its tutelage. President Trump died, victim of Musk's coup. China tried again to invade Viet-Nam and took another beating. And I'm 89 years old.
