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.

Economic Recovery in 2040 By the early 2040s, the world economy had made significant progress thanks to sustainable technologies, innovative industries and artificial intelligence-supported production. The remaining economic challenges at the beginning of the decade, such as inflation and supply chain problems, have been overcome through digitalisation, the uptake of green energy sources and new financial models. One of the most significant changes was the full expansion of renewable energies. Most countries use 100% sustainable energy, reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Energy prices have stabilised, contributing to industrial and technological development. In addition to solar and wind power, fusion power has also become available, allowing for cheap and unlimited energy production. In the labour market, automation has not taken jobs, but created new ones. By integrating AI and robotics, production has become more efficient, while people can be more creative and perform tasks with higher added value. With the introduction of a basic income, poverty has been eradicated and societies have become more equal. Global trade has also improved: Blockchain technology has made the movement of goods faster and more transparent, reducing the possibility of fraud and corruption. In food production, the spread of vertical farms and artificial meat has ensured the sustainable supply of the planet's growing population.

Ενας πιο λαμπρός κόσμος για όλους και όλες!
I would like a definitive cure to be found for incurable diseases such as cancer and various neurological diseases, and I would also like this huge inequality between rich and poor not to exist, to have equal work opportunities for all, and for people in poor countries not to die of malnutrition.

Meanwhile everything has evolved, we have digitized, we have invented useful things to live better, prosperous and easier. I would like people to understand each other, to talk to each other, they will not despair.....I hope that this technology will not destroy us and in the future we will realize that it is meant to help us not to destroy us. Peace, understanding, love for one another, that's the future.
