Utopia of a Turkish youth in 2022

First of all, the most important thing in all life is health. We are currently under the influence of a virus, covid-19, that has dragged Europe and our country into disaster. This effect has diminished considerably, but there are still traces of it. In 2040, I see that this virus has become an ordinary disease and its lethal effects come to an end. I dream that in 2040 my country Turkey is a part of the European Union and all of Europe sees us Turks as a part of Europe. I imagine Istanbul and Ankara, which blend eastern and western cultures, as the cultural capitals of Europe. I see that the Black Sea has been cleared and all coastal countries including Turkey and Europe have become conscious. The war in Ukraine ended peacefully, and after the war, Ukraine began to develop. Just like in Warsaw, Ukraine has nostalgically rebuilt the destroyed places and UNESCO added Donbass to the world heritage list. Europe did not stay connected to its ancient friend America, and established different trade networks with the east and realized these through Turkey. Berlin-Ankara railway was opened and transportation from Turkey to Europe became easier. Tensions between Greece and Turkey gave way to a close friendship, and Greek in Istanbul and Turkish in Athens became the second most spoken language. Armenia-Turkey land border was reopened after 1993 and armenians, old friends of turks, returned to Turkey, where they could practice their religion and language comfortably. Turkey took the example of Europe in terms of architecture and politics and Scottish baron architecture was used, starting from Istanbul and Ankara. The European Union has invested in all European countries, especially Turkey, Greece and Bulgaria, for social awareness and creative and critical thinking education. The baltic countries developed and caught up with the Scandinavian countries economically. Especially Estonia came to the fore in the fish sector with its huge fish factories. Germany has become stronger than ever before. With an agreement between the Irish and the Turks, the Dublin-Ankara exchange program took place. Accordingly, university students like me benefited from the exchange program between Dublin and Ankara. I see a 2040 where racism ends. I see that the Turkic Council has become a very serious organization and Hungary has joined us. The importance given to the field of psychology has gradually increased and the investments made in this field have also increased. I will be 39 years old in 2040 and I would like to see me as a successful psychologist that day. I hope it will be a patient, egalitarian, critical and modern thinking production. Where I live or what I do is not important, but I want to be of use to humanity. I hope to have visited Iceland and visited the famous Hallgrímskirkja in reykjavik. I want to see global warming slowed down and all people become conscious of it. I wish for a future where Russia is not marginalized and looks European. Yes, maybe all these are dreams, maybe impossible to come true, but we must not forget that thinking about good things always leads to good things. I in 2040, Europe in 2040, the world in 2040 send you my greetings from 2022! I hope everything was for the best!

Inflation
I would want that the goods in stores would be cheaper and that the inflation stops or salaries espacialy in slovenia should get bigger because the goods are as expensive as in northern countries where salaries are a lot bigger and better. And rent should be cheaper because in Ljubljana it exedes the minimal pay for a one room apartment and buying a apratment is extreme too, one room sells for 80000€. And the medicine should be faster too, the queues are at least one year long for a urgent operation.

Geluk zit in een grote hoek
When I walk down my greened street, I find that after the turbulent years in which part of the former EU has separated, it has finally brought peace and clarity. The stricter legislation in force in the slimmed-down EEC is bearing fruit in many areas. Safety and trust are slowly returning. Utopias about integration have been thrown overboard and Western core values seem to be returning. External borders are tightly guarded and the EEC has an equal policy of quality of life rather than quantity. Fortunately, we have resisted the rise of billionaires and oligarchs in the 1930s and find ourselves in a prosperous, pragmatic and happy continent where we have gone through the eye of the needle.

Die KI der Zukunft zu Hause
Life is AI-controlled. No area in which it does not operate or even dominate in whole or in part. Whether in road traffic, and especially in public transport, health care and medicine, in education from the KiTa to schools to universities, in all branches of the economy and especially in our everyday life at home. The AI is the first to welcome us when we open the door at home. By means of voice recognition, she immediately knows which family member has just entered the apartment, recognizes the mood of this person by various parameters such as breathing, blood pressure, body temperature, etc., plays the appropriate music at ideal volume , adjusts the lighting and the room temperature appropriately and prepares a corresponding drink. She asks what she can do to make the end of the day / further daily routine and to improve the mood. She makes suggestions and presents ideas-based on the habits and preferences of the human being-about whom she knows everything that one can somehow find out. The AI is almost the best roommate you could wish for, isn't it …?!

Švarus pasaulis
Imagine 2040, where clean and sustainable energy is the key change. In this world, almost all energy comes from renewable sources such as the sun, wind, hydropower and nuclear fusion. Energy storage technologies are so advanced that there is no waste of energy, and each building can generate and store its own electricity on its own. The transport system is also revolutionary, with fully autonomous electric vehicles and hydrogen vehicles dominating the roads and urban streets redesigned to make pedestrian and cyclist comfort a priority. City-to-city travel is carried out by ultra-fast electric trains, which replace most flights over short distances, reducing pollution. The climate crisis has been contained through targeted emission reductions and the use of carbon capture technologies. Cities have become greener, with vertical farms on skyscrapers, green roofs and smart air filtration solutions supporting clean air. Natural ecosystems have been restored and populations of endangered species have stabilised. In addition, access to energy has revolutionised society by making the basic cost of living (electricity, transport) almost free, allowing people to focus more on creativity, science and personal development than just working for living. It would be a future in which life would become not only more sustainable, but also more comfortable, giving more freedom to every person.
