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.

Frieden und in Ruhe und Harmonie leben
Above all, I want to live in peace, that people understand each other and that it's not always about profit. That people have what they need to live. Healthy food and animals that are no longer tortured. We already have a lot of technical aids, which is great progress in this day and age, but AI must not get out of hand. People should show consideration for others.

Gemeinsam das Land verändern
A lot has changed in the past 20 years. After the government finally started to be there for its citizens and the country, things started to pick up again. The economy has recovered. We now produce almost everything in our own country. We import less food because we use our land to produce food. Fruit and vegetables are now only available when they are in season. Many people use solar to power their homes. There are many more electric cars on the roads. Cyclists and motorists are equal road users. The penalties for misbehavior on the road also apply to cyclists. There is no two-tier society in the healthcare system. You get an appointment promptly, regardless of which doctor you see. Medicines are always available because they are produced in the country. Education is being taken seriously again. There are enough schools and trained teachers who take care of children's education.
