It was a sunny morning in September 2050 when I set out on a journey to the heart of Europe's future. As I traveled through Zagreb by autonomous electric vehicle, I noticed how public parks had transformed the congested streets. People were gathering in botanical gardens, exchanging ideas, and creating collective projects for a sustainable future.

Between 2025 and 2050, the world underwent a significant transformation. Cities became self-sufficient, and renewable energy replaced fossil fuels. Inspired by eco-innovations, I visited a center for innovation where young experts were working on developing new technologies for recycling plastic waste into bioplastics.

After lunch, I strolled along the Drava River, where cherry blossoms were falling from trees and providing a source of food. We were all connected – nature, technology, and people. In that instant, I realized that the future we had dreamed of was finally a reality. And every day was an opportunity to create a better world.

As I continued my journey, I witnessed a Europe where borders were no longer an issue, and people from all walks of life were living together in harmony. The air was clean, the water was pure, and the earth was thriving. I saw a generation of innovators and leaders who had taken responsibility for shaping their own future and that of their planet.

In this Europe of 2050, sustainability was not just a buzzword; it was a way of life. People had come together to create a world where technology and nature coexisted in perfect harmony, where the needs of the present were met without compromising the future. It was a future that was not just possible, but already here – a reminder that the choices we make today shape the world we live in tomorrow.

I returned to the present with a renewed sense of purpose, inspired by the people and projects I had met on my journey. I knew that creating a better world would require effort, creativity, and determination, but I also knew that it was achievable. And so, I encouraged others to join me on this journey, to dream big, and to work together to build a Europe that was truly for all.

I want to go into the next few years until 2040 in peace and security. No war, no global conflicts and no threats should be the goal of my journey. Politicians who only look at themselves and have bad thoughts in their heads should grow flowers on their heads. I will nurture and care for them, water and pick them, so that they can still make sense of their existence. Let it rain and snow. It should storm and shake. Everything shall be so tolerable that people, animals and nature do not suffer. Wells full of water will cover the earth and thus satisfy people's only desire - namely to quench their thirst. Perhaps this is all too much to ask. But the evil and wickedness in this world always manages to bring chaos and division. "Do not do to others what you would not want done to yourself". Anyone who observes this will have a pleasant life in 2040. They will be content and will allow others the freedom they enjoy. Finally, there will no longer be any difference between humans and animals. Everyone is allowed to be there. But don't forget about diligence. The desire to create something and help others remains a basic principle of existence. And always with us: the thought of all those who need our help!

Ungewiß wo es hingeht.

Once upon a time, people didn't know which way was up. Everyone hoped that everyone would get along with everyone else and treat each other peacefully. But to achieve this, everyone should put something aside and seek a balance. Will we still be able to do this ourselves or will our digital assistants already be doing it for us? It will be particularly difficult for older people who are afraid of dealing with these things. Even the freaks don't know for sure whether they still have control over the assistants. Let's hope they are well-disposed towards us and that the majority of people treat each other in the same way. In principle, it will be similar to now, except that the digital assistants will be even more advanced. Which can be an advantage but also a disadvantage. That is why it is important that we are always aware of what we are dealing with and how. It has never hurt to be friendly and polite. If you compare the little helpers to pets and you take good care of them, the Digis will hopefully see no reason to treat us badly, just like animals show affection. Unless there are evil spirits behind it programmed by humans to exploit this weakness. Positive thinking can help.

I get woken up by my robot, it helps to get the day started. Then there's a machine that reminds you to do something nice for yourself and drives you to work, so you can just enjoy the time and the calm instead of stressing yourself with traffic. Work has become easier with a lot of aids and the profit when you get home from work has increased

I think the future would be better if people stopped bickering and invented things like protecting the environment and nature, and developing technology. It would be great if people could move from one place to another with little or no emissions. Some kind of fast ship on water, under water or on rails to get from one place to another as quickly as possible. I read an article that mentioned a plan for a train between New York and London that would go through a tunnel at the bottom of the ocean. At the moment that construction would certainly not be very environmentally friendly, but possibly in twenty years time it would be different. You could stop flying altogether. Electric cars could also be developed so that it would not take so much water to mine cobalt. And that they wouldn't explode on their own.
