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.

Hopefully, a hopeful future
I would like to see a brighter future will less war and smarter political decisions on both national and global scale. I would like for pollution issues to be adresssed seriously, but I have a feeling that won't change and will only get worse. Overall, I wish to see happier and more care free people.

In the summer morning of 2050, when the sun will already warm the sky, people will rush into their daily work, but something will be different. Most of them will stop going to the offices and work remotely using virtual realities that will look like a real part of life. Although the pace of life will become faster, technological advances will allow you to significantly reduce the workload and open up more time for personal hobbies. The world of the future is not only created by innovation, but also renewed by human value. After climate disasters and planetary challenges, people will come together to fight environmental pollution. Sustainable technologies will emerge that will enable not only the purification of water and air, but also the creation of fully renewable cities that can grow and adapt to nature. The world will no longer be what we remember from the past: people will value relationships, empathy and cooperation more. Everyone will know that the future depends not only on technology, but also on our ability to grow as a community.
