The gift of medicine

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

The year is 2040, and medicine worldwide is highly advanced. Humans no longer fear certain diseases, as vaccines have been developed for them. Cancer is already highly treatable and is no longer a death sentence as it was in the near past. There are even talks for further development of a special anti-cancer vaccine which should be produced in the following years. The life expectancy of human beings is estimated to be more than a hundred years with a prediction to reach even more in the following decades. Mental illnesses that were not completely treatable like schizophrenia will be due to our advanced understanding of the human brain. Nanotechnologies, such as robotics will further help in treating serious illnesses and during operations.

In 2040, there will be schools where children and teachers enjoy going and are enthusiastic about learning. They get a healthy breakfast and a warm lunch there. In the afternoon, there is a great after-school program that is free for everyone. The whole school system has been completely changed. Individual learning is completely normal and children learn out of curiosity and without the pressure of being assessed. The school buildings are bright and spacious. All school materials are provided by the schools. When the children go home in the afternoon, they don't have to do homework and the subject of school no longer interferes with family life. All children have the same opportunities.

Asiat paremmin kuin ennen
Kansakuntien hallitsijat ja päättäjät olisivat vastuullisia, empaattisia sekä ihmisten ja eläinten hyvinvoinnista kiinnostuneita ihmisiä, jotka eivät sotisi ja ajaisi vain omaa etuaan, vaan ajattelisivat muidenkin hyvinvointia globaalisti. Ihmiset olisivat siirtyneet elämään ympäristöystävällisemmin esim. lihansyöntiä, turhaa kuluttamista ja matkustelua välttäen. Nuorimmat sukupolvet eivät olisi niin koukussa mm. someen ja nettiin, vaan jonkinlainen vastavoima olisi saanut heidät ”tuijottamaan” kännyköiden sijasta toisiaan ja tätä maailmaa ja kiinnostumaan ja miettimään aktiivisesti sen ongelmakohtia ja miten niitä voitaisiin parantaa. Tulo- ja varallisuuserojen kasvu olisi saatu taittumaan.

Magical future
I wish all the political and military conflicts to cease as soon as possible so that we don’t have to wait until 2050. I wish people cared more for each other and more importantly about our planet and the environment. I think by 2050 no one will be deiving petrol/diese cars, climate will have become much hotter and there will be more natural disastere happening. People will be isolated more from each other relying on electrical devices doing many tasks including company to each other

Varno in srečno v starosti
Takrat bom že verjetno v domu, stara 82 let. Želim si predvsem spremembe na področju varnosti starejše populacije, saj nas je v povprečju vedno več, domov za ostarele pa je vedno manj. Sploh si ne znam predstavljati varnosti takrat, čeprav smo veliko denarja med delovno dobo dali v ta namen.
