Ninas Tag in 2040

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

Nina wakes up and looks at the clock. It's already 11 a.m., but she doesn't have any stress. Her work is waiting for her, but she can take her time. After unlocking the wardrobe with her fingerprint and presenting a load of her chosen clothes, she gets up and moves to work. If she wants to, it's in the living room, if she feels like moving, then goes to her office. Nina has chosen a wonderful job and turned her passion into a profession. No one has financial worries, no one has them, because everyone gets paid for their lives. The job - a bonus and therefore something that brings joy and fulfills Nina's life. She sometimes only goes to the office for an hour, does her job, and then leaves. Today she has a conversation with a businesswoman from Beijing. She puts on her virtual glasses and sees the other person through this lens as if she were sitting in front of her.

In the early afternoon, she finishes her work and meets up with friends. Peter runs a small business and is happy about how much his customers like to have his products. Since the end of the war, the desire for individuality has been booming. Many large companies had to give up and make room for small family businesses. It lives the individuality with different colors, styles and designs. There are plenty of technical devices, virtual reality has never been so tangible.

I envision a future where labor is not exploitative, where there is a minimum wage requirement, and workers are truly protected and not treated as mere numbers. People who at the end of their workday still have the strength and hope to go and live their lives outside. I imagine women not being refused contract renewals because they are pregnant or may be pregnant in the future. I imagine a world where people with disabilities are truly protected, backed by society, and where health care is free without having biblical wait times.

It's 2040, and aviation is finally reserved for business trips for which video conferencing contacts are insufficient. For private travel, each family can fly once every 4 years. Cruise ships have been banned since 2035. A universal income has been introduced, funded by corporate profits: anything in excess of 2% of ÇA in profits is redistributed. Executive salaries are limited to €15,000 and dividends to the same amount.

Arbeit in der Zukunft
In this future, we all have a four-day week or less. For the same salary and with the same efficiency, we only work three or four days, half of them in the office and half in the home office. We have more time for volunteering, raising children, continuing education, political engagement or just hobbies and sports.

De elektrische toekomst
I hope that by 2040 new forms of energy supply will have taken hold. That nuclear fusion reactors in the Netherlands will ensure that there is power in abundance, bringing the prices of energy down considerably. As a result, the prices of electric cars, appliances and household use will also hopefully go down and technology can make a big step forward. Smart homes are everywhere and there are hardly any CO2 emissions.
