Ideally, we'd like to go back to the post-war years, when everything was (more or less) fine; people were coming out of a hard ordeal and wanted to forget and be happy. Today, money and religion have corrupted everything, we're no longer allowed to laugh, we're governed by ayatollahs and incompetents who destroy everything. We can no longer have fun, there's no more education, violence prevails, there's no more intelligence except AI/AI, which ends up destroying everything. So-called "social" networks (never has a name been so badly worn) are nothing but an outpouring of bile and hatred. Even the USA, once a symbol of freedom, is now in the hands of two mad dictators... the world is doomed.

It's now 2040 and so much has changed since 15 years ago in 2025. Transport has changed so much as there are no longer any petrol or diesel cars, electric is the only option fuel option available since 2035. Another visible change is the abolition of landline telephones, all communication is through mobile networks and most people watch television on portable devices, the concept of the television set in the corner is long forgotten. The workplace has also been transformed with the increase in the amount of hybrid working and full time home working supported by the increase in data centres and the reducing cost of technology, storage and proliferation of AI world-wide.

We used to go to school, but now it's unthinkable because we are home-schooled. Our teacher is artificial intelligence. We don't know cars anymore, now we go by air and we can travel 30km in 10 minutes. Slow trains at 150km/h are no more, now we drive at a minimum of 300km/h. There are no longer live employees in petrol stations and local restaurants, there are robots and self-service checkouts. There is a lack of emotional intelligence. People are emotionless everyone is in a hurry.. life used to be nicer, and children used to play outside now I don't see any anymore.

Oh in 2040, will I still be on this planet ... hopefully. AI will have made further and further inroads. The restless and hectic world of big politics will hopefully have calmed down. And very importantly, there is peace on this earth, the environmental problems are in the process of being solved. Naive as I am, I also believe that the migration issue has been resolved. Politics as a whole has accepted all the challenges and is telling people the truth. Bureaucracy has been massively reduced!!!! I will be able to live on my pension. but the most important thing: POPULISM IS DEAD AND THERE IS PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
