Um dia na Europa de 2050

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

It was a sunny morning in Lisbon, and Sofia, now 30, woke up in her completely sustainable home. Since 2035, all residences have used exclusively renewable energy, and the neighborhood where she lived was surrounded by trees and vertical gardens. Before leaving for work, Sofia programmed her autonomous electric bike, which would take her to the city center in a few minutes.

As he crossed the streets, he observed how public air transport, implemented in 2040, had transformed urban mobility. Small electric aircraft connected major European cities, reducing travel to a few hours.

At work, Sofia was part of an international team that met in holo-space, a technology that designed 3D holograms of her colleagues scattered across different countries. It reflected how collaboration between countries was essential to combat climate change and eradicate inequality.

At night, while admiring the clear sky from his balcony, he thought about how, between 2025 and 2050, humanity finally learned to live in harmony with the planet.

Totally United Europe
In 2040, I would love to see a totally united Europe including the countries that are part of the EU but are not as supportive as many countries, and including Ukraine and other countries that are not yet part of the EU. It would make it so much more attractive to holiday in a totally united Europe - and hopefully, the costs will not have soured as they have been doing for many European countries.

Zurück in die Vergangenheit
Keine E-Autos mehr auf den Straßen. Das war vorraus zu sehen. Überall verwaiste E-Ladestationen. Das das Netz zusammen brechen würde war vielen klar, aber der kleine Mann hatte ja nichts zu sagen. Gas teuer, Strom zusammen gebrochen, wir sind anstatt vorwärts zu gehen zurück in die Vergangenheit geraten. Panik bricht aus, Kreditkarte funktionieren nicht mehr, Bargeld ist kaum vorhanden. Kommt jetzt doch Windkraft oder Wasserkraft? Wassermühlen wie früher? Brettspiele statt Fernsehen und Handy?

EU my home
I want to see EU as a strong, technologycally advanced society. It should be much more connected (common military, foreign policy, strong and efficient central government), able to deal efficiently with problems like climate change, immigration strategy,social justice, health care and many more problems that we have today. I would definitely like to see much less dependence on US, with relations on equal terms instead. It would grant a society of wealth and therefore less tensions.

Upanje za prihodnost.
In 2040, it would be nice to have more freedom, more joy, more happiness, more hope and more empathy and understanding. No differences, no racism, sexism, or anything like that. No hatred in general. I cannot put into words how much I want this. Equality for all. That is my hope, my wish. If it comes true in 2040, when I'm gone, I'll still be happy as a ghost.
