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.

sustainable and technologically advanced world
In 2040, I imagine a world where climate change has been slowed down thanks to a full transition to renewable energy sources and the promotion of the circular economy. Cities are green and accessible to all with advanced transport systems that reduce pollution. At the same time, technology and artificial intelligence improve people's lives by enhancing education, health and employment.

Life will certainly change significantly in the next 20 years. Machines will become even more a part of everyday life - smart, intelligent devices that will hopefully make our lives easier. Hopefully, we will find solutions to many of the problems we cannot cope with today, such as hunger, poverty. I hope that our planet will still be habitable and that the necessary resources will be available.

O consumo de plástico
We use less and less plastic in our daily lives. There are exorbitant fees for companies that use and produce plastic and consumers are also charged additional fees for opting for this type of material. Consumers are becoming more careful. Children's toys are increasingly made of wood. Cloth bags and bulk food are being sold, there's no more plastic. Cardboard, boxes, glass jars and cloth bags are used in everyday life. People also regularly clean their homes and remove all possible elements containing plastic. Fast fashion is no longer fashionable. Nowadays, fast fashion stores have higher prices and people are starting to value cotton and linen more, both for clothes and home textiles. Some say that the air, including the air we breathe indoors, has improved, as even furniture is now made from 100% wood or close to it and there is less and less plastic in its production. The future is bright.
