Europe in 2040 is a very different place than it was in the past. After decades of challenges - climate change, technological breakthroughs and social change - it has become the continent of the future. Big cities have been transformed into green metropolises, where electric flying cars glide silently through the air and streets are filled with pedestrians and cyclists, as cars have been almost completely phased out of city centres. The most advanced country in Europe is now New Scandinavia - a combined region of Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland that has become a world leader in sustainable energy. All residents have free basic energy from solar and wind sources, while artificial intelligence regulates electricity consumption and distribution. Meanwhile, Paris has become the capital of artificial intelligence, where humanoid robots help in everyday life - from healthcare to education. Teachers have become mentors as AI does most of the teaching, and doctors work alongside advanced medical robots that diagnose illnesses in seconds. In Rome, the Old Town has been completely restored using nanotechnology to preserve historic buildings while modern housing complexes are hidden underground. The European Union has been transformed into a more decentralised system, where regions have more autonomy but are connected by high-speed hyperloop links that take people from Berlin to Madrid in less than two hours. But Europe 2040 is not just a technological marvel - it is a society where the focus is on people's well-being. The working week is reduced to four days, with robots doing most of the repetitive tasks. People have more time for art, sport and personal development. Borders between countries have become almost invisible as citizens have digital identities that allow them to move and work freely anywhere on the continent. Despite all these developments, Europe is not without its challenges. Climate change has left its effects, especially in the southern areas where people are gradually migrating northwards. However, the European Federation has developed a comprehensive plan to help the affected areas and ensure stability. As the sun sets over the futuristic skyscrapers of Amsterdam, shining in the blue light of smart glass, young artist Lara smiles. In her studio, filled with holographic images and floating canvases, she creates a new masterpiece - a portrait of a Europe that never stops changing, but always remains home to its inhabitants.

to go back a little bit...or at least stop, that people produce their food more, more gardens, less poison. that health is available to us as soon as we need it, and not to wait for examinations for a year., to hang out more in the open, people of all nations and colors. that we all have a roof over our heads and a decent job.

I would like everything to go back to the days of my youth, when life was full of beautiful moments and expectations, life security and freedom, beautiful nature training and camping., just a world without premornized technology., internet and other would-be helping nonsense like Al and other nonsense.

I imagine our future in 2040 without war and with huge knowledge about health and prevention of diseases in average people. I hope that we will have more affordable healthcare system for everyone and less anti vaccinators. So, I imagine this time as we beats and decreases flu, Covid, hepatitis and etc. and because of awareness of health and balance of lifestyle I hope we will have more organic and basic food, less something what is so processed. And based on all this healthy stuff we can have better and responsible life. And my dream that we stop “normalising” alcohol as something like essential part of holidays and celebrations.
