My easy day out in 2040

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I wakeup to a buzzing and nice sounding super phone. It is easy to wake up when there are birds chirping all around you in an easy and pleasant voice. I await the payment of my salary, and today is a special day because it is a 10 th year of when we started using digital euro. It has singnificaly reduced the lag time between transactions and the banks are almost not existent anymore. They were just ripping us off. Because with digital euro, you can earn dividends when puting it away in monthly quarterly or yearly dividend baskets. Last year i saved enough of coins to buy me a brand me mid tier fast and super smart phone. Soon i will be heading to work. It is one of those days where we are encouraged to visit the employers headquarters and attend some meetings there. Last time i was there was last week on friday. The future is bright and we do not need to work so hard anymore, as all the hard work has been replaced by AI robots. Oh and i forgot to mention, with digital euro, we got the standrad minimal income, which means you are guaranteed to get the minimum living expenses payed off by the government. If you work all the money is extra, for all the extra goodies in life. Yes Life Is good. Now if only we could solve the climate change on time, it wouldn't be a nightmare to life in aolmost bunkers of our houses. We had it hard these last years. The nature has gone wild with extreme hurricanes, storms, and heat and cold waves. But I am optimistic because financially we are all insured. Thats was mandated by the government, if insurance companies wanted to stay the same way as before.

Sociālā afvērtība - brīvības bira
Freedom in social networks will allow to follow people's actions, promote responsibility both privately and for officials. We will also have acquired personal responsibility for action not only in reality, but also in social networks, and thus we will be able to communicate productively and interestingly. We will not seek hatred in disputes, but grains of understanding. We will have calmed down the race for material benefits - we will live more slowly, buy less but better quality items. We will be able to see within ourselves and around us the spark of humanity.

on est vraiment sur la mauvaise pente
For me 2050 will have to take up the most important points of the past, a slower life, less technology, less social control, more freedom, a true democracy and not that of today where those who have the most power have never been chosen by the people, a sovereign Belgium that can make its own choices while working with its neighbours, including our Russian friends. More contact between people in cafes and resting, in the cinema, and less life via screen. And in our plate especially keep the quality of our local craftsmen and not the m*** indstrielle transcheese. Let us also return to traditional values and let the woke of the left find themselves in their real place ... in the asylum because they are dangerous And especially not touch my real steack raised with grass by farmers who love their craft. You will have understood ... the very opposite of the desires of the globalists of the EU:-)

Zamišljam 2040. godinu kao svijet u kojem je klimatska kriza stavljena pod kontrolu, a obnovljivi izvori energije u potpunosti dominiraju globalnim energetskim sustavom. Odabrao bih temu čiste energije i održivog razvoja. Želio bih da do 2040. godine svijet bude vođen zelenim tehnologijama, gdje su solarne, vjetroelektrane, hidroenergija i napredne baterije standard, a fosilna goriva stvar prošlosti. Gradovi bi bili puni zelenih površina, zgrada s vertikalnim vrtovima i samoodrživih zajednica. Električni automobili, javni prijevoz na vodik ili baterije te pametna infrastruktura omogućili bi minimalnu emisiju CO₂. U ovoj budućnosti, ljudi bi živjeli u harmoniji s okolišem, reciklaža i ponovna upotreba materijala bili bi norma, a klimatske katastrofe smanjene na minimum. Globalna suradnja i razvoj novih tehnologija donijeli bi stabilnost i pravedniju raspodjelu resursa, čime bi se smanjilo siromaštvo i povećala kvaliteta života za sve. To je svijet kakvom težim – održiv, tehnološki napredan, ali prije svega human i u ravnoteži s prirodom.

Fantaziram
Instead of a short maternity mother, she could get a new job that is done from home to be with the child. Or he works part-time on a full-pay basis. In addition, bonuses and benefits for each subsequent child to boost the birth rate a little. The father would be a pillar of the family again. Children do not have to be condemned to spend their childhood in kindergarten. After that, the school system could prepare them for real life. They would learn the basic things necessary for the functioning of the household and the family. And later something from the profession that they are interested in and there is a real demand for it. At least 5 numbing subjects can be removed from regular classes because everything is available online (geography, history...) or the subject itself is unnecessary and boring to most children (musical, visual...). For 99% of things, one query to a chatgpt is enough, I can't imagine how much AI will progress in 15 years, mostly schooling is almost completely unnecessary. If the flow and similar tricks made by fools from children are banned, they could grow into relatively normal people who have a goal and purpose in life instead of just consuming air. They'd be paid at work, and they'd have time to rest. States would not fund all sorts of nonsense and would not absurdly print nonexistent money, we would turn more to the local community and self-sustainability. Pensions would not be needed, there could be some state social system that would allow pensioners to get everything free (up to a certain limit) instead of cash payments. They would live and work in smaller local communities. It's a pretty unrealistic scenario, because all those billions of dollars have to be washed away. There are no men of progress in us when greed and the desire for power reign.
