I will most likely not be around in 2050 but hope for my grandchildren that the current doomsday scenario will not come true but that they can live in a world of peace with clean air and nature. Hopefully by then Europe will not have turned into a caliphate or taken over by the Chinese. With any luck, the Russian government will have finally realized that aggression does not pay and common sense will prevail and they will also not have started a nuclear war that would lead to the destruction of the world. One has been able to successfully implement nuclear fusion by 2050 with limitless energy possibilities without nasty emissions and nuclear waste allowing us to get rid of all the landscape polluting windmills and solar farms and everything drives and runs on green hydrogen or electricity. In the fish can again swim unhindered in the North Sea. The tedious and dirty work will be performed by robots and everyone can enjoy their many free hours because the work week will be only 25 hours because of this robotization. People can also enjoy their children again because they will have enough time to keep them busy and no longer have to dump them in daycare. In fact, there will be plenty of time to do fun things and raise them into right-thinking new generations. How wonderful that would be or would it still be daydreaming?

Available housing with low mortgage rates, great public transport networks with mandatory cycling infrastructure, less spending on car centric infrastructure, leading to more healthy population and cleaner cities. Energy sourced from renewable resources. Social equality and stability, shorter work week. Support for unemployed as AI takes away a lot of jobs. Open trade and borders between EU counties, lot of tourism and work opportunities. Thats what I would like. But most likely, russia will continue its war, while Europe cowardly doesn't do enough to help Ukraine, leading to freeze in conflict or worse. Then right wing populists come to power in many European counties, reset their trade and dependence on russian resources, which leads russia invading Baltic countries under whatever reason promoted and justified by disinformation on all social networks controlled by dictatorships in China/USA/russia. Europe does nothing, as why would we fight for small Baltic countries and cross moscow's red lines? NATO is no longer functional. Unending deep concerns and appeasement until russia stops at German border and demands back west part. That's no future. Europe be vigilant.

I wish there were more animals especially those that are endangered, living in a place where the heat does not exceed 25 degrees in summer and without humidity... Be well and do good to abandoned animals

Considering that I'll be 70 when I live to be 70 in 2040, I don't have much. I sincerely hope that by then there will be no more wars, humanity will come to its senses and live peacefully. But that is certainly not helped by technology or technical inventions. Maybe we will have already made the trip to the moon again, or maybe even humans will visit Mars. But that is also nothing, people will have to take seriously their surroundings, this beautiful planet of ours, and find faith again. Yes, faith, and to consider again even the things described in the Ten Commandments - that is the basis of everything.
