Worse for most, good for few

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.

I would like there to be world peace, even though I know that in this short time it will not happen and that there would be a better environment for all as people there animals. I want everybody to have a good time and nobody to feel bad. That there be great technological advances and that the government reveal government secrets.

There are a lot of fossil fuel cars on the road nowadays, although I am not a supporter of electric cars, but it would be ideal in the future to look for other alternatives besides electric propulsion, or to improve them. For example, LPG cars may be an ideal option; they exist today, but not to as great an extent as they could, and the starting price is also higher than for a conventional combustion engine. Another excellent alternative could also be hydrogen-powered cars, which would also have zero impact on the environment and our planet. We only have one home and we should protect it.

In 2040, I will be 70 years old. I will still be well and living a good independent life. Fortunately, I don't have to worry about ageing and declining health, because the elderly and other people in need are well looked after and their dignity is understood. There are small, cellular homes for older people where they have the security and companionship of each other and where they can get help or care when they need it.

If I live to see 2040, I hope that first of all there will be peace on earth, it's probably utopian to believe that such a thing will happen, as 2040 is not that long away. Peace on earth is a very big thought for our children, grandchildren and other living beings and descendants, however, it would solve many problems, but maybe it will also create new problems, some people live almost by peace on earth, even if it is strange to think this way. Imagine that we could all experience being able to move freely around our earth without having fear of war and unrest in mind, many people would have the opportunity to go out into the world to experience and not have to fear tomorrow
