Ordinary day in 2040
The sun slowly rises over the city, and I wake up in a rhythm that matches my biorhythm. The window automatically illuminates with warm light, imitating the sunrise, to help you wake up naturally, without the sudden sound of an alarm. In the background, you can hear the quiet noise of air filter fans – although in principle it is no longer necessary, because the city has been free of smog for years.

I stretch and lazily browse the morning news, displayed on an interactive wall. Another city announced a complete transition to autonomous transport and the elimination of private combustion cars. This is already the standard – since the mid-1930s, AI systems have completely taken over traffic management, with most people using urban autonomous capsules or high-speed Hyperloop lines connecting neighbourhoods and cities.

There is silence on the streets – instead of old traffic jams and engine noise, you can see smoothly moving electric vehicles, and on the roofs of some buildings there are urban airfields for autonomous transport drones. The city is cleaner than ever before, and greenery now occupies much more space than concrete.

My work day begins calmly, it's an intellectual challenge rather than an obligation. I don't have to go anywhere, because most meetings take place in virtual reality. In the past, people used to spend hours in offices, now most of us are engaged in creativity, research or exploration. Robots and artificial intelligence have taken over routine activities. Twenty years ago, people were afraid that AI would take their jobs, but the reality turned out to be different. With basic income, no one has to fight for survival, and everyone can focus on what interests them.

I can't help but think about how much the world has changed in the last 15 years. I still remember traffic jams, exhaust fumes, eternal road repairs and constant rush. Today, life is more sustainable – AI helps manage the city, energy comes only from renewable sources, and thanks to automated production, people do not have to work as much as they used to and you waste time commuting to the workplace.

I wonder if I'm going to another city in the afternoon – thanks to Hyperloop, I can be at the other end of Europe within an hour. But why don't I just go for a walk? The air is clean, the parks are full of greenery, and the cities have finally come to belong to the people, not to the cars.

Il mondo peggio

Surely the fashion world should adapt to the recycling of fabrics and clothing already made and no longer produce the same quantities that are produced today, so fashion would be much more oriented to secondhand and textile recycling. Private mobility should be reduced only where it is indispensable, so the public transport network should be completely expanded this time, leaving room for new means of commuting. I fear that by 2040 the climate has changed a lot, I imagine that there will be many problems related to water supply, so I imagine that there will be water rationing not so much for citizens as for companies and industries. The world of agriculture will therefore also be affected by the new, obviously warmer climate, and therefore cultures will be rethought and modified according to the new temperatures. Even at the political level I imagine that we are going to create an Orwellian situation in which states will form new alliances and coalitions and go towards a clearer block division, even the exchange of goods between the various blocks will be much more complex.

I would like the world to be at peace in 2040. I would like the so-called powers of the world not to make deals with each other that result in small countries being wiped off the face of the earth. So that the dictators who are still in power today understand that their actions are unacceptable to the people and are willing to hand over power to the people themselves. I would like to see respect and support for every human being in 2040. Whether they are elderly, children or disabled. So that we can all understand that often disability is not our own doing and that we will all grow old one day. And that by that time we will all have the empathy to accept such people as equals . I very much hope that we will all have enough money to live decently . That we will all be able to live in our own homes , that we will have enough to eat and clean water to drink . That we can get the necessary and effective medical care in case of health problems and that all our children can learn according to their abilities . I would like us all to be happy.

As we grow older, one hopes, of course, that the broken care of the elderly will finally be put right, both here and elsewhere. Help will be available at home as and when the elderly person's condition requires it. There are enough hands and time in home care. This would allow people to live longer in familiar surroundings for as long as possible. A familiar landscape in which to move around according to one's ability. And when it is time to move to a nursing home or service home or similar, there are enough hands and staff to stop and chat and organise activities and pastimes together, respecting the residents until the end. Cities have begun to build large green spaces, for example by extending parks and building large parking structures. This means that many parking spaces on the ground can be demolished and replaced by vegetation. Trees, shrubs and flower chains that provide a variety of habitats for animals. And plants too. A living park is refreshing to visit, if it really is a living park and not a systematic field of trees. Winding paths mimic outdoor trails for the disabled, with winter maintenance. If snow and ice still 2050 are current. Outside urban areas, forest felling has become selective and clear-cutting has been completely abandoned. Species-rich stands of many ages provide space for diverse biodiversity. Wooded fields have become forests again, with a high diversity of vegetation and species, allowing for diversity in other life forms. It is a good place to pick berries and mushrooms, or simply to wander around for refreshment and relaxation in the midst of the hustle and bustle.

Alles anders

Ich wache auf und mache mich fertig für die Arbeit. Im Haus macht mir KI mein Leben leichter. Ich steuere alle Funktionen per Sprachassistent. Autos bzw. ÖPNV fahren alle elektrisch. Wohnungen sind kleiner als heute und voll klimaneutral. Die Arbeitswelt hat sich sehr verändert und die Arbeitszeit hat sich auf 30 Stunden reduziert. Fleisch wird nur noch synthetisch hergestellt.
