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.

Technology has advanced to an extreme degree, replacing humans in many areas. Such as factories and various businesses. In this way our lives may be made easier but unemployment is rising because we have robots doing the work of humans.

The positive alternative is a scenario where everyone benefits from AI through better healthcare, faster transport and less pollution. Instead, machines do most of the work for us, everyone gets a basic wage, so we can spend more free time and realise ourselves as free human beings.

15 years have passed, more castles have been overtaken by technology, and people are either dead or it is too late for humanity. The controllers of most companies and shops have been replaced by machines. Shopping centres are just servants and deserts. Nature is unrecognisable, or people are beginning to think that business cannot be replaced by a machine or a robot. This is a craft business for most. Some people are still living the same life, but some are in love with technology. The government has come to its senses and, at the end of a certain period, it has taken the old way of life back, but only the old way of life has been replaced by the machine.
