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.

Moja budućnost, moja sloboda
I see myself at peace in 2040. I have enough peace to live in, to be able to afford to travel with my supporters on any given day to a certain country, e.g. France, Paris. We can afford to go to bed in the morning and have a dinner, a breakfast and an evening meal. It does not have to be often, every two years. I see myself in the summer and I am full of energy and I am going to continue with my sporting activities in the future. I see myself in a mountaineering club with a good team conquering various peaks in Croatia. In one of the trails I am becoming a buck, I enjoy the little children, I am always there for them, they come to me, I go to them. I look at my child and I am proud of them because they have their own goodbyes and happy goodbyes. They have good salaries and they have solved a big problem. What I want is decent peace and health for myself, and for my child to be safe and healthy, to have a roof over their head so that they do not get carried away on rented rupees from their flats.

Verbesserung der Lebensqualität durch den Einsatz von KI
The year 2040 is characterized by technological progress. The development of artificial intelligence in particular has had a far-reaching impact on society over the last two decades. Routine tasks and complex issues are largely processed and solved by AI. People's basic needs can be met efficiently and cost-effectively. The quality of life has risen sharply through the use of AI, because people have a better work-life balance and benefit from an increasing workload reduction.
