Minu linn ja selle elanikud

In 2040, my hometown and its inhabitants have changed. It has been concluded that screen addiction is still a serious addiction and there are more and more active attempts to move out of the online world in everyday activities. More community events and hobby groups are taking place, which has led to an increased interest in well-organised public spaces, and more and more sports and playgrounds are being built in the city, as well as opportunities to spend time indoors together, especially during cooler weather. It's a rare thing on the street that someone is on the phone. Residents increasingly value high-quality urban space and many cycle tracks and roads have been built. Sustainability is an important value - repair workshops and handicraft circles are a common phenomenon, clothes are preferred to be bought second-hand or made by themselves. There is no more separate packaging-free or "best before" grocery stores, but as a normal part of chain stores, there is as much packaging-free trading as possible, and there is a separate aisle for things that lose their shelf life. It has become normal to travel by bus, bicycle or foot, because the transport connections are very good, and in winter, light traffic can be reached everywhere, walking and cycling paths are opened first. There are essentially no vacant or unmaintained plots of land in the heart of the city and adjacent areas - as many historical sites as possible have been restored, unused sites have been taken into use. Priority will be given to densely populated areas and their bonuses. The banks of the Emajõgi River are in order and it is possible to walk along them for a long time throughout the city. The community is confident and warm, those in need always find support and are interested in each other's well-being even when they don't really know each other.

Mijn gedachten over 2050
I would like to see nature and the environment and climate improved again in 2050, so that we have less to worry about that the difference between rich and poor has become smaller, partly due to the new technological developments that we can do. I also expect that internet Ai and things like that will play a much bigger role in the world in unexpected positive is that I do not know yet but we will see that Furthermore, I hope that we can do better in terms of housing than we do now that people can normally buy or rent a house without losing almost half of an income and that we can also live normally once more and not be crammed into too small boxes as that sometimes seems to happen now. And hopefully we have come together a bit more instead of growing apart as we do today. It now seems that we can get into a global war shipping and that makes me worried for the coming time but hopefully in 20 years it will all be over and better and it will be okay.

Education in 2040
In 2040, education is personalized, accessible, and immersive. AI tutors adapt to each student’s pace, while VR and AR bring subjects to life. Classrooms extend beyond four walls, with global collaboration and project-based learning replacing traditional exams. Schools prioritize creativity, emotional intelligence, and real-world problem-solving. Higher education is affordable, with flexible, skills-based curriculums. Learning is a lifelong, engaging journey—empowering everyone, everywhere.

Lepsze, zwykłe życie
In 2040, medicine developed enough that teeth are able to regenerate, albeit to some extent. More and more treatments can be carried out without the need to involve a multi-person medical team. Births take place painlessly, which results in an increase in the number of children. Better organized public transport was introduced, which relaxed traffic jams and reduced air pollution. We have discovered a new, inexpensive way to recover water from rain.

Stipri ir konkurencinga Europa be migrantų
I would like Europe to be safe, there would be no more migrants who break the law and exploit Europe's legal loopholes and people's goodness. I would like the European economy to be the strongest in the world, with manufactured goods meeting standards and being a sign of cocube in the world. I would like Europe to have a political backbone and a greater concern for the people of Europe and their well-being
