Worse for most, good for few

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

As world hasn't gotten into an agreement about changes regarding the climate change the world has gotten much warmer. Population has either started shrinking in areas that are no longer easily habitable or started moving towards better areas which are now getting crowded.
This of course affects health and wellbeing of the population.
Technology/science rushes forwards with the possibility to live off planet sooner rather than later it seems that the option is only for the most wealthy. It is true that technological breakthroughs could also make lives easier and better but at what cost? There are always those who'd profit which in turn makes benefiting from said progress expensive for everyone. Working definitely might change with automatic/remote controlled robots or such. But still the lower classes would'nt have that luxory.

Notes about the quiestionaire. The given/estimated 5 minutes is nowhere near enough time to collect thoughts/visions about possible future. Also there was no option to decline after clicking the link in email as there usually is.

It doesn't hurt to dream
It's 2040 and I'm 74 years old. I'm still strong and healthy, thanks to my exercise routine and new technologies (vaccines, vitamins, and procedures). I still work as a lecturer and consultant for companies and organizations. Europe is increasingly rich and diverse, with many immigrants from different cultures. Languages

Utopia
Everyone is equal and everyone can live the life they want without negative interference. As long as that lifestyle does not hurt others. The number of cars on the streets has decreased considerably, while the number of green spaces has increased. Artificial intelligence is finally being directed in the direction it should be: to do everyday tasks so that people have more time to express themselves and enjoy life. Not like now, where AI does "art" and stuff to give people more time to do chores.

Vision of the world after World War III
In 2040, after the end of World War III, the world begins to rebuild. Unfortunately, we have irretrievably lost all of our human achievements, all of the technologies that were so important to us. You could say that we have to start from scratch again. Fortunately, in addition to the destroyed technology, there are many engineers left in the world who, I hope, will soon bring us to the point where we had to stop everything. There is something more important. People who survived this war are more united than ever. Origin, race or skin color have ceased to matter to us. With the fall of technology, terrorism and fascism have fallen. We are one nation in the world, on which now depends what our world will look like in the future.

Zusammenhalt der Gesellschaft dann könnte vieles gut gehen !
There should be much more cohesion, fairness and social justice in the future so that a reasonable life is guaranteed again. Of course, the environment, nature and climate must also be taken care of, I just hope that the whole of society is committed to this and not that by then there will again be such green madmen who want to determine alone what is to be done! I assume that I won't be able to witness how the situation has changed at this point in time, but we must not give up hope for improvement!
