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.

A better and more united world
Countries will have finally worked together to have a more united Europe that shows as one front where countries still have their cultural traits and values, but Europe shows as one front on the political, defence, and economical standpoint. Many policies would have been implemented for an improved lifestyle, especially around ecology/environment for a more sustainable planet, but also around alimentation where fairer wages are paid to local producers and farmers, and consumers have access to better, more sustainable products that are good for their health and the environment, with less chemicals, political corrupted shenanigans around what is available and less third parties taking commissions. Because of its political and economical strength, Europe will be able to help better in the long-term less developed countries in providing a fairer and long-term access to basic necessities, education and health.

in 2040 I would love it if there were no more wars and all the world's population made all the efforts they could to make the Earth a cleaner and more livable planet than it is today, how nice it would be if there were no more gender and color differences

2050
By 2050, the European Union is expected to be a leader in sustainability, digital innovation, and economic resilience. The Green Deal will have transformed energy production, with carbon neutrality achieved through renewable sources and advanced technologies like hydrogen and fusion energy. AI and automation will revolutionize industries, enhancing productivity while reshaping the job market. A more integrated and digitally connected EU will foster seamless trade and mobility. Demographic shifts, including aging populations and migration, will drive policy changes in healthcare and social security. Geopolitically, the EU will play a key role in global stability, balancing partnerships and strategic autonomy.
