In my view, this future will unfortunately have many aspects that have a tendency to get worse. We can start with education: not only are children and young people constantly "glued" to their cell phones/tablets/computers, but due to the pandemic, students have fallen behind and don't have the same thinking skills as they did 10 or 20 years ago. To give you an example: I have completed a practical course in hospitality, and I was in charge of a trainee. On a day when an essential machine broke down, it wasn't a problem for me because I was taught how to obtain the final product, but manually. I learned from her that due to the pandemic they didn't focus on these subjects, and that the main thing was for the students to pass. So much for the "do-it-yourself" generation. As for health, more and more private hospitals will appear, doctors from the SNS will leave for the same due to better conditions, which will mean that users will also feel obliged to resort to the same due to the weak state support for the SNS. Transport, I believe, will improve over time: the constant increase in paid parking, the demand from users for public transport, and the increasingly scarce remote work will reach breaking point before 2030 and will require the purchase of more equipment, the renewal of tracks and materials and even more frequent use.

I'd like to feel fulfilled both personally and professionally in 2040. To have the financial stability to achieve my goals, such as furnishing my house to my liking without having to worry about the price. Traveling the world, living unique experiences, learning about every culture in every country and enriching my knowledge. To help everyone who is special to me and people in my community and others I don't know who are going through financial difficulties. To put an end to street animals, build homes for everyone and employ as many people as possible. To be healthy so that I can enjoy a happy life. To make a difference and help the world to be happier.

Social equality, tolerance, understanding, thinking in terms of humanity instead of thinking in terms of nations. Real equality of opportunity through excellence in education. A basic income to end extreme poverty. A socially responsive society capable of working together for the common future of humanity. Finally, one can really look to the stars.

2040. People have reverted to classic phones and direct interaction as AI has permeated many sectors of life. Talk, meet more in parks. Children play outside more since at school everything is done on the tablet. The markets are again full of vegetables and fruits from local producers.
