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.

In 2040 there will no longer be the violence of today, because over the years anyone who has carried out a questionable act has had a serious and above all obvious punishment. This made sure that anyone before performing an act of malice against things or people was punished and today 2040 no one even dreams of thinking about doing harm. people live in peace, women are respected, children have started to go out and play in the streets as it happened 50 years ago. Everyone lives every day with serenity and tranquility finally on Sundays and festive days the shops are closed and everyone can enjoy their family.

Anna in Paris
On June 12, 2040, Anna wakes up in her apartment hovering over Paris. Thanks to new energy technologies, his house is powered by highly efficient solar modules and integrated micro-wind turbines. Her voice assistant, equipped with advanced artificial intelligence, reminds her of her schedule: Today it takes the Hyperloop train to Berlin, a journey of only 30 minutes. As she walks down the street, she crosses a green city where individual cars have disappeared in favor of autonomous and ecological locomotion. The facades of the buildings are covered with vegetation and the air is pure thanks to the air filters installed everywhere. At the station, it climbs into a transparent capsule, which is driven at high speed in a vacuum. Arriving in Berlin, she takes part in a conference on ocean regeneration, a project that has been successful since 2040 thanks to courageous European policies. The Europe of the future is able to meet the challenges of climate change while ensuring a sustainable and harmonious way of life.

Unser fahrbarer Untersatz
They used to drive with this gasoline and today. Today we finally made it. We all don't think about it anymore, but with the help of the state, everyone could buy an electric car. Of course we have to step back, but we all have a better future in sight.

Persönliche Zukunft
I will be retired and hopefully take care of grandchildren. I wish we could all be healthy and enjoy life. I hope that the children have a job that gives them joy and happiness. Hopefully they all have a happy family with lots of kids. I have hopefully visited many countries and can dedicate myself to my hobbies. I will do a lot of sports and do a lot in nature. The world will change, every country will look more at itself. Refugees will be intercepted on offshore islands and only qualified people will be welcome.
