Voy a ser abuelo

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.

Futuro tecnológico
In 2040, I would like to see a future where sustainable technology dominates everyday life. Energy is 100% renewable, with smart grids optimizing consumption. Artificial intelligence and robotics are allied in health, education and work, guaranteeing quality of life and reducing inequality. Transportation is autonomous and clean, eliminating congestion and pollution. Space exploration is advancing, enabling lunar colonies and research on Mars. Digital privacy is protected by decentralized systems, and human-machine interaction is intuitive, making technology accessible to all.

Bleakness
I dont want this future, but it looks like the course is similar, cars are mostly electric, the national electricity grids cant take it, leading to blackouts. The infrastructure demand cant keep up. Influx of immigrants illegal of otherwise starts to put a now much heavier strain on Europe, civil unrest, because of the cultural differences and not willing to assimilate to local varied cultures. United states of America are a wasteland with Trump/Elon ar god emperor at the helm of a wreck of a once respected country. Nothing good happens anymore.

O lume utopică.
I would like to see a world where the most important thing is happiness, not wealth, not accumulated money. A world where we live in harmony with each other and with nature. A world where there is only one nation: Europeans. A world where we don't live in fear of a mad dictator telling us what to think and do. Unfortunately, this is only a utopia, because man has always done nothing but conquer the man next to him in order to take his resources, not realizing that life is very short and he will die very quickly. Leaving nothing behind.
