Soon we will have overcome the current crisis. But we will be left with a world where millions of people are jobless and where we are all scared of the future. So how do we rebuild? What permanent changes will we see?
More virtual worlds? The invention of the holodeck? A society where education and business conferences all take place online? Where more people work from home all the time and there are no offices? What will happen to all the empty office buildings?
Maybe there will be no more restaurants? An army of delivery drones? Maybe we will see a new interest in science? Maybe we will refuse to pollute the air again now that it is clean. Maybe we will see robot cleaners using UV light to kill viruses.
Let’s think of the positives here and try to predict the world as it will be in 2 years. Happy Easter! Maybe next year Easter will be online.
