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 would like Europe to have united against Russia and the United States. I'd like Europe to be at peace, and Ukraine to have regained its territory and its people. I hope that education will be a priority for future generations. I'd also like to see family ties regain priority in the face of screens and video games. And finally, I'd like everyone to make an effort in the face of global warming, which is threatening the planet. Let's also imagine that the social tensions that persist in France will subside. Here's what I imagine for Europe, France and the world in 2040. I want my children to find a world that functions in peace and tries to solve problems rather than inactivity!

I look out the window. There are no cars on the street, they haven't been around for a long time, but laughing children are playing among green plants. The cars park in the garage and at the push of a button I can call them to me if I need one of the collection cars. But that is rarely the case. The U7 takes me wherever I want to go. Fast and comfortable. And why drive forever when everything I need is nearby? I run errands around the corner. For a long time you no longer have to shop impersonally on the Internet for simple things, but can personally get simple things around the corner again. Personal and fast. Admittedly, there isn't the widest choice, but for that too. All you need is around the corner and the saved time I spend with friends meeting on the street where everything is green. Street, what's that word? That hasn't been right for a long time. I have to correct myself, I meet on the green path in front of the house.

In the year 2040, the citizens of Germany are finally satisfied again. You look at smiling faces, whether black or white. The equality of every human being is once again in the first place, everyone is accepted as he is. A large part of the migrants have adapted to the new conditions, in the form of a new culture, respected them and even found work.

I imagine a safer future for everyone, more security, no longer afraid to leave the house without being attacked or bothered for anything and everything. Being able to count on others if you have a problem, a difficulty, not feeling left out and finding comfort, listening to people, institutions, establishments. Living in harmony with our neighbors, no longer making a difference, rebuilding solid, lasting ties with our neighbors and family. Respecting others in every way, recreating inter-generational links and flourishing in a community with the support of others, without judgement or discrimination.
