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.

Bättre med EU
The EU has expanded by a few more member countries compared to now. These include Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine. Through decisive joint action by the EU countries, Russia has given up its imperialist ambitions, the members of the old fascist regime have been convicted of their atrocities and the country has embarked on a journey towards democracy, and several free elections with real opportunities for the people of Russia to choose between different political orientations have been held. Xenophobia has disappeared and the former far-right parties attract so few voters that they are not represented in any parliament. There are now safe asylum routes into the EU and, while not all refugees are allowed to stay, they are seen as potential resources rather than likely problems. Politicians of different parties have started to listen to science again and, while not all is well, our carbon footprint has been reduced and global warming has started to slow down. Working together in the EU was a major contributing factor.

Jövő
As technology improves, people's safety and health will also improve dramatically, resulting in longer life expectancy and better performance from people who are active. Digital currencies are taking over the role of money, making it much easier to make payments by implanting a chip. Communication is also done by means of a chip with an image projected in front of our eyes.

Ekologia bez Zielonego Ładu
I would like Europe to withdraw from the Green Deal. For countries to be able to decide their own eco-future. I would like plastic bottles to disappear from stores. So that everyone could afford green heating and an electric car. I would like Europe to eliminate social inequality, send migrants home. It would turn off platforms like Temu , Alliexpress and Shein.

Future Earth wirhout wars
Our future will be in peace and people socializing more. It will be easier to travel and meet new people. Travel with flying cars and enjoying the sea from a huge platform with a dj on the sea. All sports will be free. People will work only servicing other people. Almost everything will be free. Like cars, traveling and people ideas from internet. We will talk in one universal language. Guns will be forbidden.
