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.

In 20 years, the world will be filled with autonomous cars, flying drones and augmented reality smart glasses. Artificial intelligence will have taken over routine tasks, and humans will focus on creativity and science. Medicine will be advanced - nanobots will cure diseases before they occur, and lab-grown organs will extend life. Energy will be entirely renewable and plastics will be replaced by biodegradable materials. Space tourism will be affordable and colonies on the Moon and Mars will be a reality. In spite of everything, people will continue to seek meaning, love and adventure. They will dream of an even more distant future because it is in our nature.

Europa Igualitaria
By 2040, Europe should be a sustainable, equitable and innovative continent. I would like your cities to be green, with 100% clean transport, renewable energy and a circular economy that minimises waste. Technology and artificial intelligence must be at the service of people, improving the quality of life without replacing human value at work and creativity. I would like a Europe with accessible and advanced education, where lifelong learning allows everyone to adapt to an ever-changing world. Health must be universal and of quality, guaranteeing the well-being of all citizens. In addition, I would love to see a more united Europe, where cultural differences are respected and strengthen the continent's identity. To lead in human rights, equality and social justice, ensuring peace, democracy and global cooperation to face together the challenges of the future.

Sound the alarm clock it's now 06:40, a new day to get ready for the battle with the heat outside. No more problems with transportation, everyone can afford to have at least one means of transportation, but the resources to power them are limited, so you have to work close to home. The work we are surrounded by many machines doing their autonomous work, and people just have to keep an eye on them. Domestic animals are becoming fewer and fewer, so most harness is plant-based. Today's distractions are the virtual reality games that have exploded in the last decade. What if you ever could happen? ALO? Yes, (I answer the phone strapped to my hand like a bracelet), everything is fine. It's 12 o'clock, lunch time, when the lunch shift comes in, the machines don't stop, they're working non-stop.
