Mateo woke up in his apartment on the 22nd floor. It was 5am, still dark outside, but the lights of the city were visible and it was beautiful. He went into the living room, got on the treadmill, started running, told the alex to play some of his favorite retro rock and thought about the day ahead. He has to pick up the kids for breakfast and drive them to school in his flying car. Gosh, a flying car. He remembered his father driving him through the streets and telling him how he needed to study to become a lawyer like him. He laughed. Lawyers are long gone, artificial intelligence took their jobs, good thing Mateo quickly found his way into the world of making computer games and got a wonderful job in one of the fastest growing industries. He got off the treadmill, told the domestic robot to make breakfast, made himself some coffee and sat in the chair thinking about his children. What kind of future awaited them in this fast-paced world, what kind of education to steer them towards. At one time everyone told him that there was no future in computer games, but now it was a major profession in this virtual world. He got up and walked towards the children's bedroom, oh children, what a future awaits you.

Green cities
You could really see the changes now, she thought as she walked down the street. After over ten years with self driving EVs and robotaxis, the cities had changed so much. Parking lots, no longer needed, were replaced by parks with trees, flowers, bees and birds. The air was filled with scents, you never could sense before when the air was filled with exhaustion fumes. Even though some fossil fuel vehicles remained, they were not allowed within cities any longer. And the previous traffic noises were replaced by the sound of laughter from children playing, the ripple of water, birds singing and some buskers playing in the distance. Everywhere you could see buildings with solar panels and for the last ten years, all windows worked like solar panels too. Combined with batteries, it provided cities with a stable electricity supply, even when extreme weather hit.

Politik der Mitte
Left-wing parties were banned after the 2025 election disaster and democratic, center-right politics now prevail. The economy is booming, taxes have been lowered, those who don't want to work have to see how they can manage themselves, support from the state is only available in the event of incapacity to work through no fault of one's own (illness, etc.). More emphasis was placed on education, infrastructure and digitalization, and the path has proven to be the right one. You can live well on your salary and in principle don't have to do without anything. Refugees were no longer accepted and all unauthorized persons were deported, which has greatly reduced the crime rate. People can move around safely in public again.

My future should be uneventful, peaceful and interesting. I want health care to be improved so that everyone has the opportunity for health care. That medicines of every kind are available. That every hospital has all the necessary facilities, that those facilities are new and functional...

Environmentally conscious future
Something that is incredibly important to me is environment and animal rights. I would love to see more efforts towards recycling, and have paid recycling incentives for people. Right now you can take the glass beer bottles back to be recycled and get 2czk for each, it would be amazing if the same could be done for paper and other recyclable materials. That would encourage people to recycle more. I would love to see more efforts put towards having charity events that fund companies which help endangered animals. More government organized incentives and events to help our environment. It could also be great to have events where people can take some clothing that is about to be sent to landfills and upcycle it, maybe also have more clothes that are thrown away from fast fashion clothing stores be donated to those in need here and around the world. It could also be beneficial to have a small class in schools that teaches about the environment, how recycling works, and actionable steps everyone can take to be environmentally friendly.
