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.

Balanced life in 2040
In 2040 people found the peace and most importantly the balance between work and life. With all the new technology and the things that AI can do, people work less and less, and they’re happier than ever. They learn new things everyday, they focus on what’s really important. Most importantly, there are so many cures found thanks to the AI. There is a medicine for cancer - now the most dangerous sickness in 2020 is like the flu. There is a medicine for dogs - now their lifespan is over 30.

Moja bujna mašta
In 2050, technology has promoted health and health care. Classrooms were virtual, with employees working in holographic suites. AI health monitors ensured that workers remained active, encouraging their sub-workers to keep themselves clean and healthy. Personalised nutrition is delivered by drones, optimised for each person's DNA. With robotic assistants to take care of daily tasks, people are focused on creative and strategic thinking, which has led to a healthier balance between business and private life. Posao više nije značio stress, već priliku za rast i blagodostanje.

Freedom
I would like a future where I have full independency. I want to have enough of money to provide for my family and myself. I would like to work remotely, focusing on higher work value rather than time and presence at work. I want to home-school my children and help them develop their talents.

Future 2040
In 2040, I envision a world where renewable energy powers everything, making fossil fuels obsolete. Solar, wind, and fusion energy provide clean, limitless power, reducing pollution and reversing climate change. Cities are lush with greenery, vertical gardens covering skyscrapers, and self-sustaining communities thriving on sustainable practices. Transportation is fully electric, with autonomous vehicles eliminating traffic and accidents. High-speed trains connect global cities, making air travel less necessary. Technology enhances daily life without invading privacy—AI assistants help but don’t control, and data security is a priority. Education is accessible to all, with virtual reality classrooms bringing knowledge to every corner of the world. Healthcare is personalized, with AI-driven diagnostics and gene therapy curing diseases before they start. Society values well-being over profit, ensuring equality in wealth, education, and opportunity. This future is not just possible—it’s necessary, and we must start building it today.
