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.

I imagine that by 2040 Europe will be a more welcoming place for immigrants. For this to happen, we need to understand that immigrants don't come to their chosen country to steal jobs and housing, but rather to add to it, to seek experiences and a quality of life that they often don't find in their homeland. On the other hand, for immigration not to be feared, it is urgent that governments establish rules and suitable living conditions for their users and immigrants. It is important if you understand the beauty of mixing cultures and how much you can learn from each other.

Today is December 31, 2040, I will move on to another year, but the one they went through was super good, the world on the street is happy, we all have stable jobs, those who take care of our health do everything to keep us healthy. Our children had the opportunity to complete higher education and are now employed by world-renowned companies. The future is beautiful, we will always be a united Eurpopa!

Health care is of high quality in the public sector and you don't have to wait long for surgeries and examinations. Mondern, well-equipped and clean environment. The education system is also at a high level. Well-equipped schools and many qualified professionals. More attention to nature, lots of green areas in cities.

I would like the "world of the future" to be more about connection between beings (animals, people, nature). I'd like people to be able to live more in community and with each other, to look at others with compassion and for economic interests not to take precedence over the basic needs of humanity, of people... From the point of view of education, I would particularly like to see Portugal work on the concept of autonomy, entrepreneurship and creativity in education, providing the children of today (the adults of the future) with the necessary skills for change!
