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.

Asiat paremmin kuin ennen
Kansakuntien hallitsijat ja päättäjät olisivat vastuullisia, empaattisia sekä ihmisten ja eläinten hyvinvoinnista kiinnostuneita ihmisiä, jotka eivät sotisi ja ajaisi vain omaa etuaan, vaan ajattelisivat muidenkin hyvinvointia globaalisti. Ihmiset olisivat siirtyneet elämään ympäristöystävällisemmin esim. lihansyöntiä, turhaa kuluttamista ja matkustelua välttäen. Nuorimmat sukupolvet eivät olisi niin koukussa mm. someen ja nettiin, vaan jonkinlainen vastavoima olisi saanut heidät ”tuijottamaan” kännyköiden sijasta toisiaan ja tätä maailmaa ja kiinnostumaan ja miettimään aktiivisesti sen ongelmakohtia ja miten niitä voitaisiin parantaa. Tulo- ja varallisuuserojen kasvu olisi saatu taittumaan.

Magical future
I wish all the political and military conflicts to cease as soon as possible so that we don’t have to wait until 2050. I wish people cared more for each other and more importantly about our planet and the environment. I think by 2050 no one will be deiving petrol/diese cars, climate will have become much hotter and there will be more natural disastere happening. People will be isolated more from each other relying on electrical devices doing many tasks including company to each other

Varno in srečno v starosti
Takrat bom že verjetno v domu, stara 82 let. Želim si predvsem spremembe na področju varnosti starejše populacije, saj nas je v povprečju vedno več, domov za ostarele pa je vedno manj. Sploh si ne znam predstavljati varnosti takrat, čeprav smo veliko denarja med delovno dobo dali v ta namen.

First of all, I hope that there is no more fake news because there are online fact checks in real time and populist parties such as the AfD, CSU/CDU and FDP no longer stand a chance. Then I hope that our cities are green and car-free again and populated by pedestrians and cyclists. Private transport will be completely electrified and autonomous. Trains will run quickly, at frequent intervals and on time. We have also been able to stop climate change.
