Where we're at

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

It's now 2040 and so much has changed since 15 years ago in 2025. Transport has changed so much as there are no longer any petrol or diesel cars, electric is the only option fuel option available since 2035.

Another visible change is the abolition of landline telephones, all communication is through mobile networks and most people watch television on portable devices, the concept of the television set in the corner is long forgotten.

The workplace has also been transformed with the increase in the amount of hybrid working and full time home working supported by the increase in data centres and the reducing cost of technology, storage and proliferation of AI world-wide.

The works will be accessible remotely and lively according to their desire, the work will be creative, because monotony and repetitive works will be taken over by technological solutions, transport will be autonomous and only enthusiasts will drive their cars for entertainment, world peace and conflicts will be managed expeditiously and safely - the environment will be monitored everywhere, people will be identified. This is a bit more complicated in terms of privacy, but everything will be arranged in such a way that it will not be abused.

The future will belong to those who have money and power. You can already see this today and this development will be irreversible. Democracies will gradually become part of history. Climate change is much more advanced than we thought and there are wars over land and water and crops.

Humanity would pay attention to the environment and wildlife. Political decisions would be made with the desire to have the least impact on nature. There would be no more terrorist acts and our children could feel safe. Life would be peaceful.

After graduation I decided to stay here at my home, I remember very well when my parents were forced to choose between a better quality of life, and the most dear affections such as family and roots. Today fortunately it is no longer so, I can safely decide to carry out my profession in any European state and receive the same salary, but above all to be sure that the quality of my life will be the same everywhere. My technical knowledge is equally recognized, and the chances of making a career (while still wanting to start a family) are the same, I just have to decide if I want to stay here or start a new adventure. When I talk about it with mine, I see their eyes become shiny, because they know that anyway I will be happy and I will not have remorse not having to accept compromises. Today I witness many acquaintances who (even if in the last years of work) return to where they were born, will retire and will be serene. It's great to be able to decide: If you're a traveler and you don't have to become one.
