A day in 2040:
Humans and digital intelligence coexist harmoniously, working together as partners and friends.
Children learn and grow through personalized education shaped by their own principles and values, guided by both adults and AI like GPT.
Health, both physical and mental, is universally accessible and prioritized for everyone.
Careers align with passions, allowing people to thrive by doing what they love most. It's a world of fulfillment, well-being, and meaningful collaboration.

In 2040, education is entirely personalized for every child. Each child has a unique educational plan tailored to their abilities, interests, and values. Specialized GPTs work alongside teachers to develop these plans and provide ongoing support. Schools are hubs of exploration where theoretical lessons are combined with practical projects, virtual simulations, and collaborative group activities.
GPTs serve as virtual mentors, available 24/7 for questions, clarification, or inspiration. Education emphasizes emotional intelligence, ethics, and teaching children to collaborate, show empathy, and understand their impact on the world.

Health in 2040 is a fundamental right, universally accessible and prioritized. Smart devices constantly monitor individuals' physical and mental health, providing early warnings about potential risks. AI collaborates with doctors to deliver personalized treatments. Every individual has access to human and AI counselors, helping them maintain a healthy psychological balance. Advances in biotechnology allow for tissue regeneration, elimination of genetic diseases, and extended lifespans in a sustainable and affordable way. Education about healthy living is integrated into all aspects of life, from schools to workplaces.

In 2040, the economy is driven by sustainability, equity, and personal passions. People are paid to pursue what they love, whether it’s art, science, education, or engineering. GPTs and AI optimize resource distribution to prevent inequality. Resources are managed through advanced recycling and sustainable production. Every community contributes to waste reduction and environmental protection. Everyone receives a minimum income to cover basic needs, eradicating extreme poverty and giving people the freedom to follow their passions. Digital platforms facilitate collaboration and direct exchanges of skills and services, reducing reliance on physical money

In my perfect future, as Europeans, we live in peace with each other, not just side by side. There is no longer a war, because it is not a few who determine a country, but one who determines it together. There are no more poor and super-rich, all people can live well and freely. With energy produced by the sun, wind and hydro, not from gas or other combustion. Those who do not abide by the fundamental values must leave the community.

Een wereld met minder drugs en criminaliteit. De stijging en de normalisering van drugsgebruik baart me zorgen. Zorgen voor mijn kinderen, zorgen voor de toekomst. Hoe blijven we functioneren als het altijd onder invloed kan zijn? Ons mentaal welzijn gaat er sterk op achteruit. Werkende in de ggz zou ik willen dat er meer gesensibiliseerd wordt en meer geld voor gezondheidszorg kan worden vrijgemaakt.

In a good future, I would like to see sick people treated with respect and empathy. That sick people are not forced into everything (work trials) and that it should not take several years for this target group to get through the system. That it becomes easier to get the psychiatric help you need, and that the help is ongoing if this is what you need. More hands at the hospitals so that people aren't rounded up and have to wait for ages for appointments. That more schools are built so that our children and young people don't have to fight for attention and possibly be overlooked. That Dentist comes in over taxes, so everyone can get the help they need. That all salaries etc. increase so that it feels with the rising prices or vice versa that prices fall... I want a world where no one should feel left out because of status and wealth.

I would be 82 years old in 2040. If I were still in this world then, my oldest two grandchildren would be 26, my middle granddaughter 22 and the youngest two 20 years old. My wish for my children, children-in-law and grandchildren is that the climate situation improves. I hope that common sense will finally prevail. Maybe then there will be a world without war? I imagine that there will only be self-driving cars. There are no more internal combustion engines. The public transport network is well developed. The research work is sensational, new technologies and achievements are constantly being developed for a climate-friendly world. That would be my vision for the future. I can't imagine anything else. I'm worried about my family and also about the whole of humanity and the animal world. More war, crop failures, water shortages, a collapse in health care...... If a miracle doesn't happen and a change in thinking finally takes place, we face a terrible future.
