In 2040, Europe is a model of harmony between technology, nature and society. Cities are smart gardens, with buildings covered in vegetation generating their own energy and pedestrian and bicycle-only streets. The economy is circular, with no waste, and 100% renewable energy supplies self-sufficient communities. There's a lot of free time where people cultivate knowledge, leisure and well-being. It's a Utopian Europe.

An end to the rich-poor divide. I wish for a time when you could live a normal life if you were diligent and fasted. I would abolish kingdoms, presidents, the church ... I would like to see major investment in health and education for those from whom we can then expect help. If everyone had a home and a livelihood, there would be no problems.

A territory full of economic prosperity, where social differences do not exist, and where a child can smile and be happy with his family, without suffering hunger and lack. A future in which we will all be understanding with our neighbor, more Christian and better in spirit. A future without wars, without hatred, without contempt and without discrimination of age or health, etc.

In my view, this future will unfortunately have many aspects that have a tendency to get worse. We can start with education: not only are children and young people constantly "glued" to their cell phones/tablets/computers, but due to the pandemic, students have fallen behind and don't have the same thinking skills as they did 10 or 20 years ago. To give you an example: I have completed a practical course in hospitality, and I was in charge of a trainee. On a day when an essential machine broke down, it wasn't a problem for me because I was taught how to obtain the final product, but manually. I learned from her that due to the pandemic they didn't focus on these subjects, and that the main thing was for the students to pass. So much for the "do-it-yourself" generation. As for health, more and more private hospitals will appear, doctors from the SNS will leave for the same due to better conditions, which will mean that users will also feel obliged to resort to the same due to the weak state support for the SNS. Transport, I believe, will improve over time: the constant increase in paid parking, the demand from users for public transport, and the increasingly scarce remote work will reach breaking point before 2030 and will require the purchase of more equipment, the renewal of tracks and materials and even more frequent use.
