In a future where blockchain technology is the norm, document and file management will undergo a radical transformation. All physical documents, whether contracts, diplomas, certificates of ownership or even simple invoices, will be converted into NFT (non-fungible tokens). This will almost entirely eliminate the use of paper, reducing waste and the environmental footprint of administrations and businesses.

Each document will exist in a unique, secure and tamper-proof form on the blockchain, guaranteeing its authenticity and history of changes. No more losses, falsifications or omissions of important documents: a simple digital access will be enough to instantly find all his personal, professional and administrative information.

Governments, banks and businesses will no longer need to request copies or paper evidence. Through encrypted and controlled access, they will be able to directly verify the existence and validity of a document via a public or private register. This transparency will simplify procedures and significantly reduce bureaucracy.

With this digital revolution, paperwork will be a thing of the past. The future will be fluid, instantaneous and environmentally friendly, where each individual will own a digital wallet containing not only their financial assets, but also all their proofs of existence and ownership, secured forever on the blockchain.

Probably in 2040 I will no longer be there but I hope for all those who will have a Europe of true peace, of true inclusion, of true sharing. More honesty, less violence, more well-being, more equality, more attention to the climate. A true union of all the countries that are part of it, united to improve the continent of Europe!

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 Europe of the future has emancipated itself from the USA and presents a self-confident and united front to the outside world. Nevertheless, the original European values will not be watered down, but will be resolutely defended against the world's major power blocs. A strong European Union with a strong military potential, but one that is used defensively. Internally, the governments of the individual European countries have learned that a united Europe is the only way to deal with the rest of the world, and the principle of unanimity has been abolished.

Hoop voor de toekomst
I will most likely not be around in 2050 but hope for my grandchildren that the current doomsday scenario will not come true but that they can live in a world of peace with clean air and nature. Hopefully by then Europe will not have turned into a caliphate or taken over by the Chinese. With any luck, the Russian government will have finally realized that aggression does not pay and common sense will prevail and they will also not have started a nuclear war that would lead to the destruction of the world. One has been able to successfully implement nuclear fusion by 2050 with limitless energy possibilities without nasty emissions and nuclear waste allowing us to get rid of all the landscape polluting windmills and solar farms and everything drives and runs on green hydrogen or electricity. In the fish can again swim unhindered in the North Sea. The tedious and dirty work will be performed by robots and everyone can enjoy their many free hours because the work week will be only 25 hours because of this robotization. People can also enjoy their children again because they will have enough time to keep them busy and no longer have to dump them in daycare. In fact, there will be plenty of time to do fun things and raise them into right-thinking new generations. How wonderful that would be or would it still be daydreaming?
