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.

ekologicka, technologicky pokrocila
In 2040, I imagine a world where technology serves people without harming the environment. I would like to see a more environmentally friendly diorva where electric and hydrogen cars are completely replaced by internal combustion engines.

Nice
In 2040 the feature is more peaceful in every level of imagination, no wars are present in the world, there is no violence or abuse of any kind. Everyone is minding their own business, but thinking like community and about how their decisions effect the life of thousands, if not now than in the future. Kindness is back in style and is paying an important role in everyones life. It's nice to live in 2040.

I wish for this time, which I will obviously no longer experience, that there are no more criminal and illegal foreigners living in our country, that the foreigners have integrated themselves into our country and all work and are no longer just in the pocket of the state.

Lepší svet
I imagine 2025 as follows. People will no longer eat in the normal way. Food will be replaced by pills or liquid food. Cars and other means of transport will cease to exist - their replacement will be a teleportation system that can teleport a person anywhere. It will work just like navigation. Overall, there will be less crime in the world to prevent evil. Death has a completely different meaning. In 2040, one can pay for the “extension of life.” by letting oneself be frozen.
