I’d like to imagine a future in 2040 where sustainable energy has become the global standard, eliminating our reliance on fossil fuels. In this world, solar, wind, and fusion energy power cities efficiently, with smart grids optimizing energy use in real-time. Every home has access to affordable renewable power, and transportation is entirely electric or hydrogen-based.

The EU is economically strengthened and consolidated. As regards military security, the EU has an army responsible for securing and defending the border (so-called professional army). Every EU citizen between the ages of 18 and 25 is obliged to work for 18 months, alternatively in the social sector.

The family in 2050 is very valuable because children are needed for the future . Parents do not have to be annoyed with the pursuit of money although of course they go to work . Children have enough attention in the state establishment both kindergarten and primary school and other higher institutions and there is even time for them to play with their parents . They go out in the fresh air to play and the household is cleaned by robots . But even so , children learn normal duties and proper behavior and division of time for playing , working or studying . The teachers are not afraid of the children but the children have respect . Health care is available for all within a short distance .

2040 electrical appliances will be very sophisticated.Dishes will leave the sink and wash themselves.Clothes will go into the wardrobe washed by themselves.The house will sweep and mop by itself.Glass windows will wash themselves.Food will cook itself using only the materials
