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.

Gemeinsam zusammen

All the houses on our estate are energy self-sufficient. If the individual solar cells are not enough, we have our communal wind turbines, which always produce at high altitude. The profit is distributed to everyone. We only drive a few electric cars and prefer to use our bikes or local transport for most journeys. There are trees everywhere, it's green. Birds on every corner. I work for a company in Ireland. But with home office and fiber everywhere, it doesn't matter where in Europe I work. My son is studying in Denmark. But with the high-speed trains, he can be back here in an hour.

Budúcnosť bez obavy

I would like there to be peace on earth. That all unrest would cease. We are all responsible for what our planet will look like in the future and what relationships will be like, but the higher ups have much more influence over everything. I also hope that nature will be put back in order. We should eliminate the cutting down of trees because they are the main producers of oxygen. Various natural disasters are becoming more and more frequent. Heavy rains but also extreme droughts are plaguing the country in much greater numbers than in the past. This is linked to global warming. It is not only people who suffer during wars, but also nature. I think that nature becomes enormously polluted then. Dangerous substances leak out of explosions and enter the atmosphere, and the soil and, of course, the animals also suffer. I hope that people will realise what is happening to our planet as soon as possible and that we can do a lot together. People are constantly complaining about the political system. I don't know if this has any solution. But it will certainly help if there are road and fair people in politics. But such people are very hard to find. Everything goes easier with good state leadership. There are much nicer interpersonal relations between people in a given country, less quarrels and overall well-being. However, it should be remembered that small changes can be made by man for himself. Try to be better day by day and thus create a more beautiful future for yourself. I hope that the world will only go for the better.

Geluk in 2040

We are in 2040. The world has been transformed. Poverty and hunger are a thing of the past. Technology and humanity work together to create a society where everyone has access to healthy food, healthcare and education. We help each other without conditions, driven by empathy and shared responsibility. I walk through a city where people smile, where time is not money but a gift. I have found myself in this connected world, where my talents contribute to the well-being of others. I used to look for my place, now I know that my place is anywhere I can make a difference. Here, in 2040, happiness is not a privilege, but a right for everyone.

Les transports en commun à l’énergie solaire

I'm imagining public transport that would float above people's homes and whose stops would be accessible by ultra-fast elevators, leaving the public highway free for pedestrians. Of course, these vehicles would be solar-powered and therefore non-polluting. Cars and other motorized vehicles would no longer be able to enter the city center, and would instead use the ring roads, where gigantic multi-storey parking lots would provide access to public transport.
