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 The future is bright and we do not need to work so hard anymore, as all the hard work has been replaced by AI robots.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

Μια ήρεμη ζωή
Greece 2040... After many years people are happy and optimistic. At last the reins of the country have been taken over by people who want the good of the country and work for it. All those who plagued the country are in jail and an air of freedom is blowing over the country. Education is flourishing. New modern schools, children smiling as school is no longer boring. Learning is now a joy, and beyond general knowledge they can delve into whatever else interests them. The economy is growing. Citizens are working and living with dignity and security, without anxiety about tomorrow. They do not have to be away from morning till night to meet bills and obligations. They have all the free time they need to be with their family and friends, to pursue their interests and to feel good about themselves.

Schluss mit rassistischem Faschismus
I hope that Europe and the world have freed themselves from the current shift to the right and fascist tendencies and that we live in an open world. A world in which minorities are not excluded and threatened, but welcomed with open arms. A world without homophobia, racism, ableism and other forms of discrimination. A world in which people who need protection get it.

Nur Frieden
In this future world, there will be no more wars and violence. All people live happily together and are there for the weak. In this new world, there will be no need for police officers or prisons. Just as there will be no more weapons in the future. All people are simply peaceful because the criminal gene has been removed. No one will have to be afraid or worried about anything anymore.

Eine saubere Welt
In 2040, there will be more renewable, clean energy sources, cities will be greener and predominantly electric, self-driving vehicles will be on the road. People will distance themselves more from each other and meet mainly in the metaverse, local retail will hardly exist anymore, as VR and AI will make online shopping even more of an experience and, above all, more convenient, as you will no longer have to leave the house.
