2050. Sunrise over Rome's Old Town paints the sky a soft orange colour. The city wakes quietly, but already the whisper of electric vehicles and the light gust of wind carrying the salt of the Mediterranean can be heard.

Europe has changed dramatically in the last 25 years. The climate crisis has forced countries to focus on renewable energy, and cities have become greener, with polluting cars virtually disappearing from the streets, replaced by autonomous electric cars and bicycles. Food production has also changed: vertical farms have solved product shortages and lab-grown meat has become a common choice.

Today, my plans include a quick trip to Paris on the hyper-trains that now connect all Europe's major cities. The journey will take just an hour - time for a cup of coffee and a short chat with friends via hologram. Life has become more convenient, but have people become happier? That's what we're still looking for.

The future of the earth no longer exists.

wonen in een ideale wereld !!
I want the future there peacefully, without armed conflicts , tolerance and a distribution of taxes and taxes so that both the poor and the rich pay a fair contribution , also that everyone would be treated in the same way and politicians finally stop promising their friends a better world , at the expense of the less fortunate , in short a safe and well-living world for everyone on this globe !

Wereldvrede
By 2040, everyone will live in peace with each other. People are finally coming to the realization that they have got the brain that sets them apart from most other animals. They behave accordingly and live peacefully with each other. The imperialists at the top of society have been driven out and replaced by people who have the best interests of humanity and the planet.

Senza futuro
You ask us to tell you about a day in 2040 when it's hard to look over a week. What can be imagined of the near future, projecting the current state of things? It's really complicated. I can hope that there will be a more compact European Community and that it will be less and less influenced by the United States. I can hope that Israel will be better off than it is now acting with atrocious violence against the Palestinians. Hope. Two thoughts on all, with certainty it will not be so. I see a catastrophic future and fear for my children.
