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.

People treat each other fairly and humanely. The word egoism no longer exists. There are no differences between people. Everyone has the things they need for a good life. Food, clean water, a roof over their heads, work, no financial worries, good care for the elderly and sick, an adequate healthcare system, fair pensions, no preferential treatment for civil servants and the rich. Politicians no longer receive lavish pensions for just two terms in the Bundestag. The world has managed to get a grip on its environmental problems.

The most important thing is health. And this in every dimension. That is, in the most personal dimension, meaning my loved ones and my own. But what is very related - the health of the community. I would like to see epidemics disappear, and if any beginnings appear, I would like the authorities to be able to deal with it right away. Such a situation could happen when the level of medical services and the level of medicine in general would evolve to a much higher level. The availability of doctors especially specialist doctors would be much better. Medicine would be able to overcome all the currently sowing diseases of civilization. It is also important to raise the public's awareness of health issues to a much higher level. I am thinking here, for example, about vaccinations and preventive health care in general.

Whether I will live to see this time depends largely on medicine and my health, I hope that I will still be able to go outside in the future despite my illness and my age and that I will not be sizzled at 40⁰ or more in summer, that the garden plants will still bloom in lush colors and in a variety and the fauna will not be disturbed, people should live in peace with each other again and politicians should not be older than 67 years, because every "normal person" is sent into retirement at this age and these "...." interfere in the politics of foreign countries and only bring misfortune. Housing should be affordable and pensioners who have worked all their lives should be exempt from tax, it's a mess anyway ...
