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 The future is bright and we do not need to work so hard anymore, as all the hard work has been replaced by AI robots.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

Airport of future
In 2040 there will be airports with train like qualities to them. Where there will be no need to queue for hours in security lines or arrive set times before flights. This will be done through automated scanners that detect instantly whether the correct protocol has been followed

Manas laimīgās vecumdienas.
The world is at peace. All bloody conflicts are over. People care about preserving the planet's ecosystem. We are producing less and less useless products. We are learning how to use resources. Wisely and usefully. We sort our waste carefully and recycle most of it. We use mostly energy resources. We use sustainable methods_ hydro, solar, wind. We also prioritise our own health while fighting for a healthy environment. I spend a lot of time by the sea in the summer, going for long walks and skiing in the winter through the snow-covered forest. My grandchildren are grown up and do not require much care. So I feel content to enjoy a happy old age. I devote a lot of time to my hobbies - gardening and travelling. The flowers in my garden are blooming and the tomatoes are coming up. I travel not too far, but slowly, enjoying the beautiful landscapes of European countries. The most important thing is to take care of your health and the health of your loved ones.The authorities have realised this and health care is becoming more and more accessible and not fantastically expensive.

Amélioration des qualités de vie
Quality of life has improved. Noise has disappeared from built-up areas thanks to electric vehicles, with much less pollution and more fluidity. People are more courteous and less touchy thanks to these improvements. Safety has improved, as penalties are more repressive. All breaches of the rules of etiquette and good citizenship are corrected in re-education centers.

alles wird einfacher
I can use my mobile device to communicate, pay, identify myself, get things done using AI and get my life organized. I only have to concentrate on life itself - work, leisure, family, friends, pleasure, etc. Languages are no longer an obstacle. Languages are no longer an obstacle. Data protection has become superfluous, as a lot of data is simply known and available in such quantities that it no longer requires individual protection. The device also fends off attacks and intrusions. Every person also has freely available assets.
