We are in the year 2040, in April I will turn 60 and I imagine facing my last professional years with a smile on my mouth, with a terrible desire to reach retirement age or already thinking about reducing my work activity to focus on enjoying life. My kids just made me grandpa and this is my biggest illusion now. I will enjoy my people, my friends and acquaintances, the close family and the new entertainment opportunities offered by new technologies. All kinds of experiences that, as always, are best enjoyed in the best company, that of yours, the family you have and the family you choose. My children have jobs that allow them to enjoy life and people more than we have, but we must make an effort so that we all coincide in special moments. We value physical contact very much and prefer this to do it through screens, although sometimes there is no other remedy. 2040 is presented with a relative world peace and we must take advantage of it, people try again to enjoy the moment, the small things, in the face of the flood of technology so necessary and at the same time so dehumanized.

I would like there to be world peace, even though I know that in this short time it will not happen and that there would be a better environment for all as people there animals. I want everybody to have a good time and nobody to feel bad. That there be great technological advances and that the government reveal government secrets.

There are a lot of fossil fuel cars on the road nowadays, although I am not a supporter of electric cars, but it would be ideal in the future to look for other alternatives besides electric propulsion, or to improve them. For example, LPG cars may be an ideal option; they exist today, but not to as great an extent as they could, and the starting price is also higher than for a conventional combustion engine. Another excellent alternative could also be hydrogen-powered cars, which would also have zero impact on the environment and our planet. We only have one home and we should protect it.

In 2040, I will be 70 years old. I will still be well and living a good independent life. Fortunately, I don't have to worry about ageing and declining health, because the elderly and other people in need are well looked after and their dignity is understood. There are small, cellular homes for older people where they have the security and companionship of each other and where they can get help or care when they need it.

If I live to see 2040, I hope that first of all there will be peace on earth, it's probably utopian to believe that such a thing will happen, as 2040 is not that long away. Peace on earth is a very big thought for our children, grandchildren and other living beings and descendants, however, it would solve many problems, but maybe it will also create new problems, some people live almost by peace on earth, even if it is strange to think this way. Imagine that we could all experience being able to move freely around our earth without having fear of war and unrest in mind, many people would have the opportunity to go out into the world to experience and not have to fear tomorrow
