I’ve been pondering over the potential effects of the COVID19 pandemic for weeks now.
I think it will have long-term/generational effects and will promote and/or increase the popularity and growth of:
- Homeschooling
- Online learning
- Demand for faster, better internet
- Deliveries
- E-commerce
- Getting/staying healthy and healthcare
- Mutual aid, mutual credit, UBI (universal basic income), timebanking
- Cooperatives and social enterprise
- Remote work
- Transitioning more activities/businesses to online/homebased
- Habit of saving
- Habit of prepping
- Self-farming or container gardening
- “Reverse urbanization”: migration away from urban areas
