Scientific research as a hub for the future's needs

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In my desired future, science would become the cornerstone of the EU budget. With a better scientific knowledge of the world around us, Europe would drive good reforms not only in the primary and the secondary sectors of our economies, but also in health and education. In the primary and secondary sectors, it would allow us to become more competitive by taking advantage of our already great potential for developing high-level technologies in comparison to other regions. This way, the EU would become more efficient in every economic activity (which also means less environmental impact) and, also, more strategically independent. In health, quality of life for our elders would be increased, hopefully to the point of partially preventing aging. By achieving this, people would remain socially and workwise functional for more years. Apart from the inherent personal and social direct advantages, this would avoid the long-term budget crisis that lots of European states can face as their populations get older. As for education, pedagogy and psychology, helped by new technologies, would guide the adequate reforms, adapted to each country, that prepared the youth to become highly skilled, global citizens. Having this kind of citizens would, in turn, boost the EU economy (through increased adaptive enterpreneurship) and also the quality of its political aspect: it would promote critical attitudes and a proactive citizenship.

Bessere Mobilität und weniger Energie sorgen
Mobility will be somewhat different than it is today. In the meantime, there will be completely autonomous cars. In addition, local public transport will be largely free for everyone to use. The new cars will use a mixture of renewable raw materials as fuel, which are significantly more climate-neutral than conventional fuels made from fossil fuels. Almost everyone will produce their own electricity because the majority of residential buildings will have photovoltaic systems on their roofs.

Deutschlands Zukunft
In my future, Germany would not support all the laws that the EU decides in its arrogant omnipotence. Germany would decide for itself whether and how many migrants it wanted to have in the country. Then there would be no more violent foreigners in this country. The tax money earned by the citizens would be spent first and foremost on the needs of their own country and there would no longer be so much money flowing abroad. Germany would be more independent of the EU. And you can criticize the government without being stigmatized or punished

Jsem šťastná..
I woke up in the year 2040, greeting my robot, who is currently preparing breakfast, a cocktail of different colored capsules. He answers my greeting and informs me of the weather, again just sunshine without a cloud. Then watching the news from the world, the leaders of all the countries of the world are gathered and together they celebrate 10 years of peace, no wars, increased prosperity...I think to myself, amazing times.

Verpasste Chancen
Unfortunately, scientists' predictions and warnings about climate change have been ignored for decades and political decisions have been driven by profit interests. Historical opportunities to enable a good life for all people have been missed. Struggles over the distribution of water and resources were the order of the day, and good coexistence in society was nothing more than a myth told by the ancients.
