The way to the future: Day in 2050

One sunny morning in the summer of 2050, Eva woke up in her cozy, eco-designed house in Bratislava. Over the past 25 years, Europe has changed beyond recognition. From 2025 until now, big cities have turned into green metropolises full of parks and community gardens. The air was clean, the traffic was electrified, and all the buildings were energy self-sufficient.

Eva put on a lightweight and comfortable suit made of recycled materials and went to work on her electric bike. Thanks to 5G technology and artificial intelligence, she had a very flexible job and solved most of the tasks from home. Today, however, she had a scheduled meeting with colleagues at a recently opened research centre.

Along the way, she noticed how people used smart benches to charge their devices, and how children played in a virtual park where they could participate in interactive educational games. This generation had access to education and information like never before.

One of the biggest changes Eve observed was an increased awareness of sustainability and cooperation. European countries have come together to achieve climate goals and promote peace. In 2050, Eva lived in Europe, where people cared for each other and their planet, and this filled her with great hope for the future.

Euope first
Hello, It's February 26, 2040, and Europe has finally unified. We are 32 independent states, but with a strong European government that can decide on certain global, environmental or conflictual issues. The United States of America has regressed economically, and is now only the 6th world power.Since the election in 2024 of Donald TRUMP (who ran his country like a business) and then the election of Elon MUSK (who thought that cars could all become airplanes, and who advocated the return of dictatorship), they have become a shadow of their former selves.With China, we have brought peace to African countries, and launched economic and agricultural programs to reduce poverty and excessive migration.

Le respect des animaux
The future will undoubtedly be marked by the development of artificial intelligence. This raises both fears and hopes. For my part, I hope it will lead to major advances in the field of medicine, enabling us to live longer, healthier lives. At the same time, it appears that progress is being made in the area of respect for animals, albeit too timidly. I sincerely hope that it will continue to evolve, and that there will be no more animal suffering. May science enable us to feed ourselves differently, why not through the development of artificial meat. It would be wonderful if scientific progress could lead us to understand the mystery of life, why we are here... Finally, may mankind be wiser and exclude war, but that's in the realm of utopia, alas.

Gesund werden und nicht mehr allein sein.
In 2040 I will be 87 years old and I don't know if I will still be in this world. Now, at almost 72, I am reasonably ill and still take little part in life together. I spend most of my time alone at home in my beautiful 3-room apartment with a balcony. I have 3 children and 6 grandchildren but the contact is not that great. 2 children live near me, but they have their work, their house and their children. There is little time for me. When I need help, it usually works out that they help. How do I see the next few years? I would like to alleviate some of the symptoms of my illness or get rid of them completely. If that is the case, I would like to fly, not that far. I've never been to a foreign country like Italy, France or even Austria. I've also got to know almost nothing of Germany. As I can't walk or stand for long periods, day trips are not for me at the moment. I would like to get to know a man again, not to move in together, but to go out and be there for each other. My last steady relationship is from 1997. I would like Germany not to be involved in a war and for our economy to flourish again so that we can maintain our social system. I would like to be that old, but who knows that about themselves.
