The future of all (Prihodnost vseh)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040, I would like to see some of the problems that have arisen as a result of humanity’s actions over the past 200 years be solved. This problem is mainly global warming and the destruction of the planet. In addition, I would like to see more people who feel connected to others in the future – only through cooperation and integration can we make further progress. The best example of this is technological progress, which is largely the result of cooperation and accumulation and knowledge transfer over thousands of years. I think that working together is secret to tackle the problem of global warming, since we will have to get closer together in the future if we want to solve this problem. The policy will have to be integrated, as it is already doing with international climate conferences, but more needs to be done to solve the problem. Systematic solutions in the form of laws and sanctions will be needed to guide society as a whole towards more environmentally friendly action. Society will have to behave somewhat less individually and more collectively, and I want a democratic system in the future that allows everyone to participate, express their opinions freely and see each individual as something specific and enable them to grow personally, which is later seen for the benefit of society. I can conclude that some of the guidelines for such action are already in place (environmental laws and sanctions), but that their execution and implementation are currently not at a level that solves the problem. In addition, solving environmental problems requires technological developments that would increase the possibilities for substitution of resources (which would make them more affordable) that contribute to the problem, and this progress can be achieved through scientific integration worldwide, which has proven to be effective in many places (including in the production of COVID-19 vaccines).

w krótkim skrócie co nas czeka w niedalekiej przyszłości
I think that in 2040 there will be an increase in the gap between rich and poor areas. Unfortunately, wars and conflicts will probably not disappear, and the strongest countries will take advantage of the poorer ones. I am afraid that the level of environmental pollution will continue to increase and in 2024 humanity will have to support itself with some kind of masks with filters. In addition, we will be surrounded by a multitude of robots, which, among others, will mainly be used in areas such as care for the elderly. In addition, education will change completely in 15 years, traditional books, notebooks, exercises will be completely replaced by multimedia content and artificial intelligence will be used to a much greater extent in this area. Thinking about our country, if we maintain the pace of development, the whole country will develop, many areas will be even more beautiful, villages will become even more suburbs and "bedrooms" for larger cities, where professional work will be concentrated.

Civilization has not collapsed—it has been restored.
In 2040, the world has returned to its roots. Families are strong again, with men as providers, earning fair wages for a four-hour workday—enough to support their loved ones comfortably. There is no more endless striving, no exhausting rat race. Life moves at a natural rhythm. Consumerism has been replaced by mindful living. People buy only what they need, and nothing is wasted. Food is grown by local communities, free from corporate control. Every family has a home, built with care, not mass-produced for profit. The sprawling, soulless cities of the past are gone, replaced by self-sufficient villages where neighbors know and support each other. With less work and more time, people reconnect—with nature, with tradition, with family. Children grow up with their mothers at home, learning real values. The world is simpler, freer, and more human. Civilization has not collapsed—it has been restored.

Europa di tutti
2040 is finally the year of true European unity: Russia and the former Soviet states have also joined the EU. To celebrate this milestone, every citizen has had a free train ticket to use to get to know one of the new countries. A way to appreciate the new citizens and to rediscover a slow and eco-sustainable tourism.

A healthier future. It will be possible to replace all sick human organs with artificial ones, even in the brain it will be possible to make certain adjustments. The age of people will be extended, people will be able to work much longer, and demographic problems will be solved. The number of people on earth will stop increasing, and we will eat mostly artificial food.
