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.

une vie sans guerre
Now, in 2040, I'm enjoying the sweetness of life in my senior residence. I'm 80 years old, and despite my various pathologies, medical progress has enabled me to be a "healthy patient"... 15 years ago, people of goodwill from all countries and religions decided to join forces against a common enemy: global warming. Humanity, united at last, turned its back on murderous, sterile wars. Since then, technical, ecological and medical progress has been phenomenal. This will allow me to live well for another few decades.

Lavenir de demain
Like chameleons, the homes of 2050 will often change appearance, both aesthetically and functionally (part of the home can become immersive at any time, for example). Our relationship with storage will also be different, as we will no longer see our stocks. They will be managed by robots in dedicated airlocks. Connected mirrors will save an incredible amount of time in preparation. There's also a major change concerning water: it will have completely disappeared from the rooms of the house, except as a beverage. As a result, we'll have done away with most of today's household appliances (clothes will be washed automatically, showers will be forced-air showers...). Our homes will no longer be just living spaces. They will serve as data collectors, which they will send to various universal AIs. However, the primary function of the home will remain as a space for families to share experiences and as a breathing space for its inhabitants.

Mon histoire restera, de l'imagination, comme cela va se passer !!
But at my age, do I still have a future? I'm nearly 78 and I'm seriously ill, I have leukemia. (I don't do chemo... it doesn't heal). But hey, I'll pretend I'm not sick! I'd like to get together with my children, my grandchildren, my great-grandchildren, and spend several days with all this little world, in the middle of nature..when summer's here. The days would be longer and the nights shorter. Real family happiness, Enjoy nature to the full, nature is so beautiful, and with your family, nothing can be more beautiful than this family reunion! Live without thinking about the future, and live the present moment to the full. To think only of the present moment, to live life to the full, without thinking of the future, which is just around the corner...

Zpět ke kořenům
The company will understand that chasing only money and the cheapest product is not worth it. It will return to a more logical and meaningful local way of life by getting people to start spending more time outdoors in the fresh air again and understanding that living cooped up in offices and cars and in apartments in the evenings chained to cell phones and computers just doesn't make them happier.
