I may not be there in 2040, I'm 50 and I'm sick, I don't think I'm 70!...but all I hope is that my children and grandchildren are healthy, happy, with their families and have a good job so that they can live better than I have lived...I wish that medicine had made serious progress to be able to save all the sick, that there would be no more wars in the world killing poor innocent people and that the environment would be more respected so that the climate would not get out of control to the point of destroying our beautiful planet, that governments would be more understanding and do everything to help the poor people all over the world and save our beloved Earth! Balance and fairness for all! Everyone deserves happiness and health, no discrimination because of the color of their skin, or work more "repecuous" than that of their neighbor, no more dictatorships and disrespect for the poorest and above all no more wars for power or for territories! And take more care of our planet if we do not want to destroy it ourselves, before the time...

Capitalism is dead and buried, we all live in communion with nature. There is no more competitiveness or competition, just well-being everywhere around the earth. Everything's cleaned up. No more conflict or power. Equality and equity.The necessary tasks are carried out by robots and machines, as much as possible in a natural and non-polluting way, respectful of other species and the survival of the planet. Love is totally free and a blossoming sensuality brings joy to all humans. No more religion...

All of them now live in small villages where everyone has their own house, which is powered by solar and wind power. You have your own water treatment and a small garden where you can grow your own food. In politics, meanwhile, referendums have been introduced where everyone can participate in the decision-making process as laws are regulated and, above all, as it looks in the immediate environment. Cars are solar powered and can be recharged over the road surface. At home, a personal robot helps with housework and all other things. Politics has become a voluntary service whereby the financial resources of the state are sufficient to cover everything and to finance the necessary wages that are sufficient for life. The country has again set itself the goal of producing almost everything itself and thereby creating jobs and importing only the most necessary. Since this principle is regulated equally in all countries, there is peace among themselves and the famine is completely abolished. Ki is a daily companion and fully integrated into society and is not considered a threat. For older people, there are residential parks where you can live in community of others without being alone and with everything needed, from medical care, to shopping, care etc.

The sun is slowly rising above Europe’s unified energy network, which supplies the continent with clean and sustainable energy by 2050. Līga wakes up in her smart home in Riga, where the walls adapt to the temperature, while the windows filter the sun's rays to optimize natural lighting. A personalised diet plan tailored to her health data, connected to the European Health Network, awaits her in the kitchen. The road to work is no longer stressful: self-driving, energy-efficient public transport vehicles transport people with zero emissions to the nearest second. Urban centres are green, they are no longer busy with traditional cars, and people prefer bicycles or autonomous capsule transport. Air pollution in Europe has almost disappeared thanks to air purification technologies and nature-friendly infrastructure. Between 2025 and 2050, Europe underwent a major transformation. The climate crisis has made countries work more closely together than ever before. After 2035, when fossil fuels were completely banned, innovations developed rapidly, generating surplus energy and thus a new economic model in which resources are redistributed more efficiently and fairly. The introduction of universal basic income in 2040 allowed people to devote more time to creative and socially useful activities. Līga works as a digital historian – her task is to document and analyse the development of society, so that future generations can learn from past mistakes and achieve even higher goals. She believes that 2050 is just the beginning of an even brighter future.
