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.

Vanus on 2040 üksnes number!
First of all, I hope I'm still alive. I also hope that I am so healthy that I can manage my own life because then the care system for the elderly is so good that I don't have to go to a nursing home because they don't exist anymore. They will help you in your home until you die. For homework, every elderly person has their own robot with whom they can communicate. The robot can also monitor and document the health of the elderly.

El Cáncer se cura
The world finally realizes the importance of healing. With an increase in aid and investments in research, in just a decade incredible advances are made in the cure and survival of the most harmful cancers. In addition, there is a chain reaction effect that makes advances in the cure of diseases increasingly important by increasing knowledge in gene therapies.

Lepší zítřky
In 2040, I'm 85 years old, I don't care much about the future anymore, because as I get older, I lose my strength. Everything around me is changing so fast that I can no longer handle new technologies and must be helped by my grandchildren or great-grandchildren if they find time for me. Fortunately, since 2025, no wars have arisen in my vicinity, humanity seems to have become wiser or lazy, and everyone is playing on their own sand. The dream of a great Europe has vanished, yet we are somewhat different and also have different historical experiences. The warming of the Earth has stopped, so the heat is no longer tiring. Since nature managed to recover, straightened watercourses returned to the original meanders, drenched meadows left at the mercy of mosquitoes and other vermin, life is better. I am glad that I lived through these times, even though my health and legs no longer serve me. I am delighted with my offspring who thrive and only hear of the old days when there was no freedom.

UTOPIA
In 2040 I would like a world less focused on career and money, where people have the time and pleasure of being with family and friends. I would like to see more inclusion, especially social inclusion. I would like a health care that works, where care is accessible to everyone and where there is no economic speculation whatsoever. I would like more education from everyone, especially towards the elderly, towards those who do not fit into stereotypes and towards the needy in general. I would like more sensitivity for animals and I would like to have so many resources to have a recovery center for abandoned or mistreated animals. I would like young people to rediscover the joy of being together even without technology. I would like a reality without wars and with a justice that works, so as to have greater social security.
