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.

Opwarming van de menselijkheid.
I hope that man will keep the advancing technology under control or even tone it down so that there is (again) more humanity, service, warmth among people. The world has become socially anti-social; nowadays you can get in touch with anyone on earth but you hardly know your neighbors, your loved ones. You can arrange (almost) everything remotely but a face-to-face contact hardly exists, everything has to be done digitally, cold, impersonal. If you want a personal contact you have to make an appointment and then you get so many minutes within x time to make your gevoeg. A chat with someone can do wonders

It's 2040, I've aged 15 years and medicine is moving forward incredibly thanks to AI and robotics and the development of new drugs. What was impossible to drive is now becoming possible and it will certainly save many lives, even if our lifestyle over the last 30 years has not been right due to the success of the times and stress. Care for the elderly is first class and available to anyone who needs it. It is no longer decided whether a person is poor or rich, the problem of each individual is dealt with correctly.

In 2040, every citizen of the Czech Republic has the right to intervene in electoral issues. People have enough money to eat, everyone has a job, and the young are entitled to many benefits to start their lives. Energy prices have finally come down and green space has grown significantly across the country.

Technický rozvoj a rozvoj AI
An ideal world, everyone working for one entity, the world interconnected and traveling from one corner of the planet to the other is a matter of hours. Faith will not be a problem, it will remove all violent ideas and promote human development and growth, not enslavement of humans in order for a small group of people to control their environment. There is already a permanently manned base on the moon and the foundations and possibilities of a Mars settlement are being built. Everyone is doing what they are interested in, the main work is being done by AI-driven technology. Unfortunately, times will probably be different. After Russia's war with Ukraine, the world will be divided into six major entities Europe, the US, Russia and the Asian group of countries and oil exporting countries. These groupings will be fighting over the planet's mineral resources, which will be depleting or in short supply. Everything will have, only an economic market character . Backed by military deterrence. Which means whoever has the greater economic influence and military power will rule with their commanding justice. Social ties will collapse and the divide between the classes will widen.
