Everywhere people are rushing. New technology show them that they have to invest the time to be better and better every day. We have the help from al intelligence so we don't need to think too much what making us more lazy,more stupid. When anything is happening we don't know what to do. And climate is changing so a lot of people dying so it's so scary. People are loosing everything, it's very hard to recover

Energy supply secured in Europe, i.e. each country takes responsibility for supplying itself with the energy it needs. Many nuclear power plants or what works in each country. Free movement within Europe but not free movement to Europe from Africa, Arab countries etc. We need to integrate everyone who has come here first. In balance between electric cars and fossil fuel cars, I mean cars and trucks. Every country should work to become self-sufficient in food and what else we may need. Crime is non-existent because everyone has gone there so the prisons are full: The population within Europe is mentally stable, everyone gets help before something terrible happens. No more wife beaters, school shootings, suicides. That study results and student satisfaction are high but at the same time that blue collar jobs and other care professions are highly valued so that we do not have a society filled with engineers, etc. That researchers have managed to solve the problem of pain, cancer, menopause, osteoarthritis, etc.

4 April 2040. It's a day like any other: I leave home and comfortably reach my office thanks to the 44, an electric bus that allows me not to stress driving and to relax listening to the news from the world that go by wire. For lunch, I spend an hour in nature, eating in the park near the office, in one of the many areas equipped with benches, tables and baskets for separate collection. I can always feel connected thanks to the public wi-fi coverage of the city and, thanks to this, I organize and book an aperitif with my friends to unplug after a day of work.

The morning sun falls through my window, and I breathe in the fresh air. My housing estate is built sustainably, with lots of greenery, clean water and healthy food for everyone. I feel the energy in my body – all the years of conscious movement and good decisions have been worth it. Outside, I meet people from different cultures, but we all share the same values: Respect, equality and community. No one has to fight for fundamental rights – education, healthcare and co-determination are a matter of course for everyone. In my studio, I work on ergonomic tools that make everyday life easier for people with special needs. Thanks to new technologies, I can design individual aids that enable real self-determined life. In the evening I meet with friends who share my values. We not only celebrate our successes, but also the way to get there – because we know that life is more than just functioning. 2050 is not perfect, but it is a place where health, equality and community are no longer dreams, but lived reality.
