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.

A better future would be if people did not lose sight of their intrinsic values. A world at peace, without poverty, without divisions between equals and unequals, without genderism, ecologies, etc. It is just a business to make money, but the real benefits are barely visible. It is just less littering, less cleaning up after ourselves, less buying unnecessary things, less deceiving people for television, social networks. Reducing the use of phones and other gadgets if it is not necessary. Humanity is running away from these things, children are not able to learn to read, to understand simple things, they do not have the words to describe things or actions because the screen shows everything for them. I would like to see that process of 'improvement' slowed down considerably or even stopped. And we could enjoy a full life in nature, interacting with people in person and not through social networks.

I am in the European Union but I wish it had less influence on the economy of individual countries. I hope that the green forest will not pass, the whole world has somewhere green order only the union takes care of us. I believe that you need to live in accordance with nature,you need to protect forests,rivers lakes,our nature in the general sense,but not at the expense of humans. We are mammals but also predators. We can not walk away from the consumption of the city,if someone wants please do but nothing by force. I hope that the "last generation" together with this stupid Swedish woman will understand the values of being human will approach economic as well as environmental issues with more understanding. Because for now we are striving for the times as shown in the time machine,all equally dressed,All doing nothing ( artificial intelligence will do for us) and we will eat flowers and miss grass. The current situation is leading to just that, and those who govern us now do not realize what consequences will result from such an approach to life

Seniorin normaali päivä vuonna 2040.
- When I wake up in the morning, I activate my personal wellness robot while checking that day's programme for health care, send the shopping list for food delivery, check the weather forecast for the day and decide when to go out. After breakfast, I open a group meeting with my best friends to exchange the most important news. I check my nightly health report and then we can play board games with the robot until the lunch delivery guy arrives with a tasty treat. - At this point, a nap is in order! Now oxygen jumping to clear my thoughts and physics. - Afternoon entertainment in the form of a reading circle with 4 friends in the form of a new book we were among the first to receive electronically delivered a week ago. After the guests have left, the evening is spent watching the TV travel programme, exchanging ideas with my robot about the information programmed into it about my virtual destination. I go to bed for the night safe in the knowledge that I am under surveillance for both sleep and my body's functions, getting help without delay if needed. Good night :)

I believe that emigration from Africa and Muslim countries will be controlled and that the war in Ukraine will be a lesson in the realisation that Russia is evil. EN people will be proud of Europe's power and will no longer fear Muslim attacks in European cities. I believe that the euro will become the strongest currency in the world. I believe that the economy in the EU will be the strongest in the world, or the extreme parties will become history.
