The world would be at peace and that the richer countries would help poverty in the poorer regions.Also I imagine Ai will play a very big part of life in 2040.No more diesel or petrol cars are to be produced. Very warm summers with many people dying and strong winter storms.Hopefully there is a cure for Cancer.Smoking to be banned in most countries.Respevt for each others religious views would be tolerates.

There will be a greater development of artificial intelligence, and all citizens will connect to each other through it. The use of the microchip to be implanted on the skin of the hand will spread, and in it will be uploaded all your information and data, such as identity and health document, bank account number, possibility of making banking and financial transactions through it. Robots will spread in all homes that handle all household chores and the means of transport that use fossil fuel will disappear; the energy will be produced by mini nuclear power plants. It will be possible to reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere, and wealth will be distributed more equally.

I think I'm going to Rome by train which is actually a shuttle so I can get there in half an hour. It is a tube in which the shuttle travels. In Rome there are no surface vehicles but you will move with single or multiple drones and with paths delimited by laser headlights that direct the path. This will be implemented in every European city. Unfortunately, given my age, I won't be there anymore. It's up to you to experiment

In 2040 I hope to have a more democratic Europe, journalists who are freer to write what they think without any criticism since today there is (in my opinion) no such freedom and we are moving towards a "soft dictatorship." A free state where non-EU people are welcomed and not locked up in "reception centers" but are given an education and since there are abandoned cottages and land, the possibility to renovate these houses and give back to the land new cultures, and also help them in their countries so that the flow is less. I would like a state without economic inequality so that there are not very poor people, there has always been wealth and poverty but it is not as evident as it is today. If this happens I think our country can "rise again" from the evils that are there now and the people can live with peace of mind.
