2040 could be a very different world from today, depending on how we advance in technology, society and the environment.

1. Technology and Daily Life
• Advanced AI: AI assistants will be almost like humans in their ability to understand and anticipate our needs.
• Virtual and Augmented Reality: Work, education and entertainment will be highly immersive.
• Personalized Medicine: Genetic editing and nanotechnology could cure many diseases.
• Automation and Robots: Many work tasks will be automated, with humans focusing on creativity and innovation.

2. Society and Economics
• Hybrid Work or Less Work: Perhaps we work fewer hours thanks to automation, with more time for leisure and personal development.
• Universal Basic Income: If automation replaces many jobs, some countries could implement a basic income for everyone.
• Smart Cities: Connected infrastructure, autonomous transport and clean energy dominating the urban landscape.

3. Environment and Energy
• Climate change: If we act well, we could have a world with clean energy and less pollution. If not, we could be dealing with more frequent weather disasters.
• Space Colonization: Perhaps there are bases on the Moon and Mars, with space exploration at its best.
• Sustainable food: Vertical crops, laboratory-grown meat and sustainable alternatives will be normal.

It all depends on how we make decisions in the coming years, as I don't see myself able to predict something that many variables influence.

In the future, I hope we will live closer to nature and its resources in a more sustainable society. I hope that our children will play a bigger role in the way we invest in preschool and school to enable a better future for them but also the whole planet. I believe that education reduces war, gang crime and social injustice. We have met the environmental targets and are taking care of our planet, so we can feel that our children's future is secure!

It is 2040, 15 years have passed since the German federal election, 16 since the Austrian one. The increasingly noticeable shift to the right has been reversed, the AFD and FPÖ have lost a massive amount of support. Racism throughout Europe and worldwide has decreased, the social gap has closed again, care and the healthcare system are running smoothly and poverty in old age is hardly an issue anymore. As a result, people are once again more peaceful, friendly and generous towards one another.

The apartment would certainly be equipped with talking equipment, Lights and other equipment, such as windows, doors would open at the sign of my voice. Meals and house cleaning would be done by robots. Police officers would also be robots. There would be order and cleanliness everywhere. Cars would be electric only or hydrogen.

In 2050, people have realised that we come from our childhood and from school. We will make better decisions if we have a better education. The richest part of the world is working very hard to ensure that at least basic education is available everywhere in the world. In Estonia, the salaries of nursery and school teachers are such that these jobs go to the best of the best. A smart nation becomes a prosperous one. A wise and prosperous people will not elect and allow to lead people who are not fit to do so. The world will be a calmer and happier place.
