I would like that people stop watching the nature getting more and more in danger and people suffering without doing nothing; we all must do something.


What do you want the future to look like?

I would like that all people are fair and equally treated.
And I would like to keep enjoying plants and trees and animals, and to have a not too baldy polluted planet. We all will need to not just travel for unnecessary reasons, and avoid to use polluting transportation. I would invent something like combinable transport modules that can transport a variable number of person and be used together, so that not each and every car or truck goes on the road with an own motor polluting the air.


Feeling

I don’t know how to feel about everything that is going on.


Influence

In my free time I learn as a junior firefighter how to handle emergencies and the required technical things, I would like to develop more solutions to help humans to adapt to the climate and take care of the planet, such as fighting fires, save water and energy. Also I help people and friends in South Africa cleaning very polluted rivers, so that they can swim there again. And I tell people about things that I see and what we can do.

In the future I see my graduated daughter working in what she likes.I see my now adult son working as an electronic technician. I see the mental health of our boys so strong and so fragile at the same time put in the first place where the school leaves no one behind, where the professors make you love their subjects or at least be curious about them. Where people who have escaped wars now far away are in Italy or other host countries "at home" without feeling different, inferior or unwilling. The whole world and all its governments have understood the importance of maintaining and taking care of nature and its animals. The wonderful world we live in.

Europe needs peace and adaptation to the needs of our times. This means dealing with threats to democracy and, above all, actually complying with it. Social protection should be provided to citizens. This entails stopping the promotion of the so-called , Green Deal, which is leading to the impoverishment of society and the collapse of agriculture and the economy in Europe. Citizens expect solutions from Europe, and their anger stems from not seeing them. It is necessary to return to a model of Europe based on the full sovereignty of the Member States, which are self-determining about their citizens and their economy. This is guaranteed by the Conservative government, which will also ensure the deportation of illegal immigrants. Why do we need a European Union that, according to sick climate ideas, oppresses its citizens with idiotic ETS-type taxes. I hope that such an EU will go into the past and will only be a former bad dream of imaginary pseudo-democrats.

The prediction of the future is always risky. Even the prophets of the Bible did not speak far ahead, but judged the realities they saw and predicted the future precisely because of their discernment. There are 25 years left until 2040. Undoubtedly - technical progress (provided that we do not destroy, there will be no crazy and warlike neighbors left). The most important thing is the relationship between people. I don't dream of communicating with thoughts or thanks to implanted devices. I hope that in 25 years, people will remain, or perhaps become, empathetic to those around them and to the environment - living and non-living nature. They will stop devastating nature, wisely manage and use resources, perhaps they will control the unbridled desire for wealth and power, and democracy will take more sustainable and humane forms. And I'm hoping for smarter rather than dumber fellow citizens who won't run to hide when they see a flying passenger plane that leaves a "tail" of smoke and doesn't burn 5G towers... I hope for a reasonable breakthrough in the preservation and maintenance of health, keeping the criterion of reasonableness and not resorting to experiments that go beyond the limits of humanity and reason. Nature (or perhaps the Creator) draws new surprises in all areas. With the advancement of medicine, bigger and more complex challenges and ugly diseases appear (or are discovered). I said it! It's expropriating.

Social Interactions
In 2040, I hope that day to day life will not have changed too much from what it is now. I feel in the previous 15 years technology has leaped forward, sometimes for the better but not always. I hope that we continue to have more personal interactions and meet socially more often. While I feel it is great that we can contact anyone in the world quickly and effectively with mobile phones, messaging apps and video calling, I feel that we are losing that face to face interaction because everyone is glued to their phones and sometimes are missing life passing them by.
