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.

I imagine a better future where everyone is accepted and feels safe. Financially everything will be fine, there will be more pay. Prices will go down. The environment will be taken care of and we will develop ways to keep the world cleaner. I think the livelihood financially should be basic and that in the future we will make it. The education system will change, because the situation of the students is not the best because they are overwhelmed with all kinds of things. Increasingly, everyone wants to leave their country at the moment and I hope this will not be the case in the future.

Моята мечта
When I turn 40 I want life in Bulgaria to be not so expensive life and not so much malice in people ! I want all needy children and elderly to be given more attention as well as pension increases ! I would like 2040 to be a more humble and peaceful year when we go home to feel relaxed and at ease and not under pressure of what we will do tomorrow ! I want my children to be responsible and good people by then not to be greedy and money hungry to be persistent and studious !

The future of EU
I really hope we can solve this crisis somehow and use it to make an opportunity. We must spend much more money for our safety and spend more money to create a strong European army and do all of our best to stop global warming for once and for all

Μια μέρα στο 2040
The sun rises over New Athens, a city that marries tradition with technology. The streets are quiet, as all vehicles are electric and autonomous. Travel is fast with high-speed underground trains and flying taxis powered by solar energy. Today marks the 10th anniversary of Europe's transition to renewable energy. Old industrial sites have been converted into vertical farms, ensuring fresh food for all. Climate change has been halted, and cities are full of parks and clean air. Education is free for all, with virtual reality simulations that make learning interactive. People are working fewer hours thanks to artificial intelligence, and have more time for family and creating. The future is not just viable-it's exciting.
