In 2040 I am retired, but due to a flexible labor market I still have some working hours, especially online. The help I and other retirees need (at home) is customized to the individual due to the use of AI. The content of education has also become more individualized - while children and young people are also learning how to behave socially. Private motoring has been largely eliminated; a number of vehicles are available; they come and pick you up themselves. This saves on car and parking costs. An annual health check (voluntary) helps catch many diseases in their early stages, improving quality of life and reducing hospital costs.

In 2040, the world has continued to grow together. Wars and exploitation are a thing of the past. Many diseases that were previously considered incurable can be cured. Faith in God has grown and people live together and for each other. AI takes over monotonous tasks and can make decisions. I like living in this time. The environment has recovered and climate change has been halted.

I hope that man will keep the advancing technology under control or even tone it down so that there is (again) more humanity, service, warmth among people. The world has become socially anti-social; nowadays you can get in touch with anyone on earth but you hardly know your neighbors, your loved ones. You can arrange (almost) everything remotely but a face-to-face contact hardly exists, everything has to be done digitally, cold, impersonal. If you want a personal contact you have to make an appointment and then you get so many minutes within x time to make your gevoeg. A chat with someone can do wonders

It's 2040, I've aged 15 years and medicine is moving forward incredibly thanks to AI and robotics and the development of new drugs. What was impossible to drive is now becoming possible and it will certainly save many lives, even if our lifestyle over the last 30 years has not been right due to the success of the times and stress. Care for the elderly is first class and available to anyone who needs it. It is no longer decided whether a person is poor or rich, the problem of each individual is dealt with correctly.
