I envision 2040 as a year in which technology has finally struck a balance with sustainability and human well-being. It is not a dystopian future dominated by machines, but a harmonious evolution.

I would like you to:

* **Energy was clean and plentiful:** Solar, wind and geothermal energy are the main sources, with a smart grid that manages energy efficiency optimally. Electric cars are the norm, and sustainable mobility is accessible to all.

* **Health was a priority:** Access to medical care is universal and personalized, thanks to the advancement of preventive medicine and early diagnostics. Medical technology is used to improve the quality of life, not just to prolong it.

* **The environment should be protected:** Cities should be green and sustainable, with large green spaces and greater biodiversity. Pollution is drastically reduced, and natural resources are managed responsibly. The technology is used to monitor and protect the environment.

* **Equality was a reality:** Social and economic inequalities are significantly reduced, with more opportunities for everyone, regardless of background or background. Access to education and training is guaranteed for all.

* **Technology was an ally:** Artificial intelligence is used to solve complex problems, such as poverty, hunger and disease. Technology is accessible to all and used to improve people's lives, not to control them. Human-machine interaction is intuitive and natural.

In essence, I would like 2040 to be a year in which humanity has learned to live in harmony with nature and with itself, harnessing technological progress to create a more just, equitable and sustainable future for all.

Czy to bajka, czy nie bajka?
A better future... We drive electric cars, and electricity to them is provided by wind and nuclear power plants. Non-organic plastic replaced glass, in a garbage incineration plant with efficient filters made waste pits finally unnecessary. The air in Polish cities is suitable for breathing even in winter, and in summer we are not afraid of drought and lack of water. And instead of arming, we spend money on health protection and equal opportunities for children and adolescents. All this may be possible, but I'll put it between the fairy tales...

Den gröna framtiden
I would like to see a future where there has been a major change for the benefit of the environment and the future of the planet. Solar, wind and hydropower have replaced fossil energy sources. Buildings, houses, etc. are equipped to be self-sufficient both in terms of energy and, for example, basic raw materials such as potatoes and the like. Public transport has switched entirely to electric vehicles and there are incredible high-speed trains that can compete with flights between major cities.

Naturen er reddet
You have invented a technology that effectively breaks down CO2 from the atmosphere and you are back to a world without climate change. The gardens are healthy with beautiful coral reefs and full of fish. In the North there is winter with long periods of snow. Farther south in Europe there are rarer forest fires and normal amounts of rain that give good breeding. There are no climate refugees. They appreciate nature more and seek it out often. Animal welfare is also an important focus area and you eat less meat. Smartphones and computers are used less often, and you are less accessible by phone/mail both privately and at work.

Podróże w czasie
In 2040, the world looked very different than it did twenty years ago. Poland has become a peaceful, safe and united country around common values. The streets were clean, the cities well organized, and people lived in harmony, valuing their traditions and culture. There was an atmosphere of tranquility in the towns, with children playing in the backyards without fear, the elderly walking in the parks, and the neighbours knowing each other and helping each other in their daily lives. Local communities thrived and small family businesses thrived, supported by modern technologies and a conscious approach to the economy. There were no problems with crime or riots. The authorities have made sure that the country develops in a sustainable and safe way. Young people had good prospects – they could educate themselves at a high level, develop their passions and be sure that they would find a decent job. Thanks to a wise economic policy, Poland became self-sufficient – agriculture flourished, domestic companies produced modern technologies, and people enjoyed stability and prosperity. Society was united, proud of its history and ready to build the future in accordance with its own values. In the evening, sitting on the terrace of his house, John looked at the quiet streets and felt gratitude. He knew that his children were growing up in a world where they could feel safe, respect their roots and build a better future for generations to come.
