I’m in the US.
I don’t have my own kids, but for the next few generations I think overall life will be amazing.
It seems like new technologies and awareness of the world could go either way, really bad or really good, and I’m going for the good.
I think the work week will shrink and become more flexible (that’s already happening a little). Very hard physical labor will be less and less necessary. Woman are gaining political positions.
The country is getting more and more diverse, and there is motivation to solve inequalities that persist.
Climate change is mentioned above, I’m hoping the more flexible work week will reduce fuel consumption and emissions that are bad for the environment. I’m hoping capitalism will help create and install alternative energies to reduce emissions and who knows what other creative businesses might come out of trying to do what’s right for the planet. There is so much opportunity! I think the generation that recently graduated and the one coming up are very concerned about green practices and energy.
Ukraine is a reminder of the horrors of war, and hopefully that gets some of of the lunatics in my country who have been saying things like “rise up” and “there will be a civil war” to calm the hell down, or at minimum pushed back into their caves. I always have this feeling of being on the brink of peace in the world. We can only hope.
If the world uses technology to create more equality, freedom, health, nutrition, and safety in the world, the world could be amazing and less volatile.
