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.

Den perfekte fremtid
For mig ville den bedre fremtid besstå af et mere mangfoldigt verden, mere social lighed og accept af forskellige individer, en verden/et Europa i harmoni uden krig. Et sundheds system som snakker sammen og hjælper, en verden hvor hvert individ tager ansvar for klima og naturen. Jeg ville ønske der var plads til at ydre sin holdning på en rolig måde, og at der var accept af forskelligheder og forskellige holdninger.

Frihet, Demokrati, medmänsklighet
I hope there is a world and a Europe left to live in then. That humanity understood that it must take care of nature, climate, earth, people that it understood the importance of cooperation and democracy. My kids found themselves and had a good life. I'm probably retired then. I hope that I have enough pension to cope with life and that I have the health to cope with myself.
