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.

ekologicka, technologicky pokrocila
In 2040, I imagine a world where technology serves people without harming the environment. I would like to see a more environmentally friendly diorva where electric and hydrogen cars are completely replaced by internal combustion engines.

Nice
In 2040 the feature is more peaceful in every level of imagination, no wars are present in the world, there is no violence or abuse of any kind. Everyone is minding their own business, but thinking like community and about how their decisions effect the life of thousands, if not now than in the future. Kindness is back in style and is paying an important role in everyones life. It's nice to live in 2040.

I wish for this time, which I will obviously no longer experience, that there are no more criminal and illegal foreigners living in our country, that the foreigners have integrated themselves into our country and all work and are no longer just in the pocket of the state.

Lepší svet
I imagine 2025 as follows. People will no longer eat in the normal way. Food will be replaced by pills or liquid food. Cars and other means of transport will cease to exist - their replacement will be a teleportation system that can teleport a person anywhere. It will work just like navigation. Overall, there will be less crime in the world to prevent evil. Death has a completely different meaning. In 2040, one can pay for the “extension of life.” by letting oneself be frozen.
