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.

Zdravi život

The best future would be to be free from all pain, to live until the age of 80, without any pain, funnel, doctor... I think that would be ideal, that they are all healthy, vital, of sound mind. No pills, no high blood pressure, no cough, no brain, no various forms of cancer. Then a person could live a better life.

Бъдеща Европа

Europe's future lies in a fully united Europe. All the countries of the continent now use a single currency, it is easy to travel to another country. The flow of immigrants has already decreased, because in Asia and Africa, where the immigrants are mainly from, several countries have been united and, with the help of the United Nations and the Great Powers, their standard of living has been raised and stable countries have been built. The welfare of Europeans has increased with the use of natural technology and the development of high level fusion for the use of cheap energy. Actions to protect the environment have had their effect on the continent's climate.

Egy fényesebb jövő…

It's 2040 in Hungary, and the beginning of the last 15 years has portrayed a very gloomy and pessimistic vision of the future for the people. But there was a glimmer of hope in the person of one man, disillusioned by the regime, who realised that this could not go on and gave voice to the anger and despair of the people. *Here's the idea* In April 2026, the regime was overthrown, in 2028, all the corrupt pro-government people were dismantled and brought to justice. By 2030, public services were restored, the people were in a much better mood. By 2032, agriculture was restarted and the country was back to its former glory. By 2035, the country was one of the most liveable in the European Union. And now, in 2040, I tell my children about the years of oppressive rule and then we plan a holiday together. /I dread to think of the other outcome :( /

Život s manje stresa

People would return to living in suburbs and smaller towns and cities, more attentive to nature and self-sustainability. They would have more green spaces, maintain their eco-ways and landscapes. Children would again play on playgrounds and have more time with their parents. Cars would be smaller. There would be more parks and lawns in castles, and people would have more greenery on their balconies. Radios would be shorter, and the radio day would be 6 sati. Life would be more orderly and less stressful. People would travel more by train, there would be fewer tourists and less traffic.
