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.

För ett tryggare Europa
Hopefully, the whole of Europe will be a safer place. Just look at Poland, which has really succeeded in being a safer country. Girls should be able to walk on their own in the evenings without having to worry. Prison sentences should be harder than they are now, purely by seen jokes how low the sentences are. In addition, if you have applied for asylum, you will be granted a probationary period of 5 years. If you don't behave, you won't get a second chance.

Digital vård
I hope and believe that health care has taken big steps forward. As body worn smart devices, such as a wristwatch or a ring, become increasingly available, I see opportunities for these devices to be in direct contact with healthcare providers. I think that in the near future we will see smart devices that can take, for example, blood samples and analyze these and discover that something is not right, then the unit contacts caregivers and data can be transferred between both parties and finally the owner of the device gets information about their consent and what may need to be corrected / adjusted. In this way, we can detect diseases at an early stage and then also hopefully be able to remedy them.

Europe Led the World in Making Planet Earth Liveable Again
Fifteen years ago, most of the people of Europe were pessimistic about the environment and the looming climate catastrophe looked so real and imminent. But now in 2040, a glimmer of hope is emerging because the European nations got united and led the world in combating global warming. Now the waste management system has improved by leaps and bounds, recycling is a lot better, fossil fuels are replaced almost entirely by more sustainable alternatives, more trees are planted which resulted in more wildlife. These are the major improvements which the people of the world thought were impossible to make. Yet here we are enjoying a lot better climate which will only improve now that more people are united in making this planet more habitable for us and the future generations.
