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.

The future could improve for all of us if remedies could be found for some still deadly diseases including,cancer.I hope that in 2040 the diseases that lead to certain death i short time can be defeated and that research will give the results we all wait for.If those who have no hope today could be cured with drugs or targeted surgery it would be the ideal solution for a happy future for so many families who hear death sentences.I hope that within fifteen years this will happen and that it will not remain a dream.

MOLTA PIU' CULTURA
IAC WOULD LIKE THERE TO BE MORE CULTURAL PROGRAMS-THEATER, CONCERTS AND MUSEUM VISITS WITH AFFORDABLE PRICES FOR EVERYONE. ESPECIALLY I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOUNG PEOPLE FROM THE EARLIEST SCHOOL GRADES BEING DIRECTED TO THESE EVENTS. YOUNG PEOPLE ARE VERY SET ON SOCIAL PROGRAMS SO YOU COULD USE THESE PROGRAMS TO DIRECT THEM TO MORE CULTURE.

In 2040, I live in a United Europe where the current nationality borders have been erased, and are regional borders instead. From north to south, and from east to west, we are connected by high-speed railways that allow us to travel from northern Sweden to southern Europe and vice versa in less than 24 hours. We do not see immigration from non-European countries as a problem, but as a strengthening of our society both economically and culturally. My grandchildren have received a good education and have the freedom to work and raise a family wherever they want. All this is again utopia if I look at my own development from the mid-20th century. and how everything has accelerated. Only we can stop Trump, Musk, Putte, Xi and their supporters who are currently destroying what has been built since the end of the war in 1945.

Postapokaliptična EU
Prihodnost evrope naj bi bila svetla, vendar se zeleni prehod zmeraj bolj pozna na naših denarnicah, ki so že drugače tako napadene od infllacije in t.i. shrinkflacije. Kupna moč pada iz dneva v dan, srednji sloj izpareva, počasi in konstantno. Politika EU vodi vse po domače povedano v rit. Zmeraj bolj so zaščitene manjšine, domačini zmeraj izvisijo pred prišleki. Za leto 2040 si lahko samo predstavljamo kakšno postapokaliptično utopijo, kot jih poznamo iz mnogih survival games. Nebi me čudilo, če bi za novi blatnik na motorju mogel plačati mehaniku z kakšno čudno valuto, kot je na primer 10 palcev, ki so nekdaj pripadali rivalski tolpi. Prihodnost evrope bo zelo temna.
