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 The future is bright and we do not need to work so hard anymore, as all the hard work has been replaced by AI robots.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.

It doesn't hurt to dream
It's 2040 and I'm 74 years old. I'm still strong and healthy, thanks to my exercise routine and new technologies (vaccines, vitamins, and procedures). I still work as a lecturer and consultant for companies and organizations. Europe is increasingly rich and diverse, with many immigrants from different cultures. Languages

Utopia
Everyone is equal and everyone can live the life they want without negative interference. As long as that lifestyle does not hurt others. The number of cars on the streets has decreased considerably, while the number of green spaces has increased. Artificial intelligence is finally being directed in the direction it should be: to do everyday tasks so that people have more time to express themselves and enjoy life. Not like now, where AI does "art" and stuff to give people more time to do chores.

Vision of the world after World War III
In 2040, after the end of World War III, the world begins to rebuild. Unfortunately, we have irretrievably lost all of our human achievements, all of the technologies that were so important to us. You could say that we have to start from scratch again. Fortunately, in addition to the destroyed technology, there are many engineers left in the world who, I hope, will soon bring us to the point where we had to stop everything. There is something more important. People who survived this war are more united than ever. Origin, race or skin color have ceased to matter to us. With the fall of technology, terrorism and fascism have fallen. We are one nation in the world, on which now depends what our world will look like in the future.

Zusammenhalt der Gesellschaft dann könnte vieles gut gehen !
There should be much more cohesion, fairness and social justice in the future so that a reasonable life is guaranteed again. Of course, the environment, nature and climate must also be taken care of, I just hope that the whole of society is committed to this and not that by then there will again be such green madmen who want to determine alone what is to be done! I assume that I won't be able to witness how the situation has changed at this point in time, but we must not give up hope for improvement!
