COVID advanced the world into the future

[ven7net]

Of course, Covid has made its own adjustments to the development of our world, but I would not say that they are positive. Many companies have gone bankrupt, entire industries have closed down forever and I can’t say that this has made our world a better place. Yes, Covid promotes the transition to remote work, distance learning, and perhaps this somehow pushes people to create new technologies and opportunities, but this is a drop in the ocean and most people are left alone with traditional methods of existence. For a leap forward to occur, the world must be without limits, but apparently in this case it is not about our situation.

[dimox]

now, people forced to online when they want to do something like buy, and the other. and as time go by, people get to used it, doing all stuff by online. and when covid disappear, this habitual still stick in our mind.
its can be good or bad thing if people cant make a good point from this situation. and the good one will adopt into any situation. so, when this world be normal, they can do more and more than the other.

right, in essence we as humans must be able to adapt to changing times. with the covid pandemic, making changes in human habits, starting from work, to fulfilling life's needs. therefore today the online economy sector is more enjoyed by everyone to protect themselves

I am talking about the digital revolution that was already taking place, yet still had some bumps along the road to occur, and has been forcefully implemented by many companies that required their people to keep on working. I am also talking about the immense number of new influencers and subscription services that had increased their adept several times-fold. All this would have taken ages otherwise.

I think the disadvantages of covid-19 is too much than whatever digital revolution it has brought. Have you taken time to look around you and see what people has been going through because of the covid-19? A lot of people died and a lot of people lost their loved ones. It doesn’t just end there, lots of people became hungry, people became poor and lost their jobs. Things like this led to increase in crisis, the rate of crimes increased.

Just look at what has been happening in lots of countries these days. It’s just like where I am living, there are now lots of thieves and people are being robbed almost every day, things never used to be like this before now. So, this covid-19 is really bad, but I am hoping that things gets better.

Covid forces us to adopt working remotely,  school teachers today now has to teache infront of the laptop while the kids watches the teacher speak. Old folks has to learn facebook messenger now to they could talk and see relatives at the same time. Its neccessary to learn how to use gadgets or they are going to die of loneliness.

Easy for them to use the internet now and do onoine transactions too. And its not going to be hard to introduce crypto wallets or CBDC.

i agree. since the start of pandemic majority of transactions are made online, so its not far that we would still use online transaction with or without the pandemic in the future because people have experienced the hassle free of online transaction, which will further or possibly lead to crypto wallets because we might want to store our money digitally for easier usage online. right now there are still "cash-on-delivery" options but in time people will slowly learn to adapt.

Have you wondered why such habits stick while some habits like staying at home won't ever stick? That's because people want convenience and online shopping was new for some initially but once they tried it, surely everyone realized that it is easier and saves time as compared to traditional shopping.

That's the impact of unemployment and have you wondered why unemployment is much worse in under-developed countries? That's because of their lack of the use of the internet and technology, be it because of financial problems or be it because they are not educated enough to operate them.

If only better technologies and the internet were adopted, lesser people would have lost their jobs and hence lesser unemployment which directly helps in reducing crime and theft.

I agree, amid the covid pandemic it's all about efficiency that makes the economy strong, we can see that most of the company who are already implemented technology to further optimize their system as well as increasing the efficiency hardly impacted by covid.
Even many companies that either has both online and offline business actually set record in profit due to the market share increase because some company just backward and rather inept in technology adoption, as we all know, only company or economy that easily adapts that will come out strong.

It is true that the current conditions indirectly make a company more creative and innovative in doing something,
and indeed it is not easy but if it is used as well as possible it will produce big profits,
With the development of the era, companies are also required to operate more technology than usual

I wish I could agree with you but all the "strong" economies are propped up by fake things. Fake money, more fiat pumped into the system. I mean even big global companies in Europe and USA all fall if they close for a few weeks and yet we are expected to live on savings for months.

That is what COVID revealed to me,,, that banks and financial systems and economies are so, so weak with nothing to stand on.

I am literally surprised that the economy still holding up even if the entire industries were on a stand still for a long time and still the stock market was not having any major correction and i was expecting the stock market to fall badly last year but that did not happen and still the market is holding well and with the financial aide these governments are pumping will hold the market for a while, we will literally see a major correction.

This is not surprising. Pumping cash into the economy is already a long-standing and proven method of dealing with problems in the economy. The most important thing is to stop in time and then get out of these stimulus measures without serious losses for the development of the economy. Another question is that this has already become a fairly hackneyed technique in developed economies and therefore does not work as effectively as before. Therefore, we look with fear and hope at the development of the epidemic situation over the next few years, with an emphasis on universal vaccination of the population, and then we will look at the recovery of the economies and remember the contradictions in the economy that already existed before the pandemic.

I don't like this pandemic, but beside negative things that caused by COVID19 there are some good things that people get. For example, people are become more aware about cleanliness. This pandemic is challenging human whether human can do something innovative to survive or loss. But still I hope there are no more people die because of this pandemic, I hope everyone will be safe. Please apply social distancing and lockdown correctly. We only need to become discipline to cut this virus spread chain.

[Xinarae*]

Covid-19 infection has brought many adversities in our lives corona virus has changed the course of professional life. Nowadays home has become the new office the Internet is the new office room working with colleagues for some time has become a matter of history developed economies especially the united states are almost forcibly rehabilitating loss making businessmen and ordinary people to revive their economies. Many poor countries are still trying to raise their incentive funds while the united states spends 25 percent of its GDP on economic aid developing countries spend far less than the united states.

They keep pumping cash to cover the holes. It was like in the 2010 banking crisis,,, when loans defaulted, they covered it up with more and more loans. And in bad economies the government keeps printing more and more money to put more cash into the economy. So everything seems all right on the surface until a point inflation cannot keeps up.

So now economies are not producing but cash is stimulating spending.

with this pandemic, it has indeed changed our life habits a lot. in addition to minimizing our activities outside, it seems to require us to always do a clean life. But I don't think all areas are experiencing a sluggishness, of course new fields will emerge when the pandemic occurs. we know the crypto market has become a hit this year. besides that all types of online businesses are also growing rapidly

[perfect999]

I think most of us would rather not have had COVID. It has been devastating for many economies and it took a bad toll on people. However it has had some side benefits (some may argue that having Trump removed for now may be one of them, LOL).

I am talking about the digital revolution that was already taking place, yet still had some bumps along the road to occur, and has been forcefully implemented by many companies that required their people to keep on working. I am also talking about the immense number of new influencers and subscription services that had increased their adept several times-fold. All this would have taken ages otherwise.

No matter how well people try to twist it, I am still not happy about this Coronavirus. This covid have ruined a lot of things, especially the place I live, things have changed a lot. This virus brought economies down and led to hunger in a lot of societies these days. And when there is too much hunger people will start living reckless lives to survive, there will be a high rate of crime which is very bad.

So, tell me why exactly I should be happy about coronavirus? Of course it did bring a digital revolution, but what's the need for a digital revolution? We don't even need that, I will choose peace of mind over that.

[noorammak]

The world is still the same, it's just that the pandemic makes it impossible for people to move freely and traditional jobs cannot happen in the normal way. Technology-based alternatives are more applicable than we are used to seeing.
We don't know what the world will look like in the future. I hope it won't be like the sci-fi movies we see on television.

- People are really creating more good habits when most of us are taking health regulations very seriously, however, our lives are also becoming more tiring and boring when limiting going to public areas, living in a house with four walls is not so easy, phones and computers are our immediate friends. And instead of saying that new fields are appearing more, we should say that old fields are under too much pressure, new fields are an outlet to find a little extra income but in reality, the harsh environment is making everything less optimistic

[tyz]

It has always been the case in history that crises strengthen the power of innovation and the speed of further development. For example, it would never have been possible to fly to the moon as early as 1969 without the military developments during World War II. That would have taken a decade or two longer without the war. In the same way, there were high innovation thrusts in Europe after the plague pandemics. There is excellent literature and documentation on this. And this time it's the same again.

I understand your sentiment. No one will ever love this pandemic because of the drastic changes it brought to the world.

However, OP is right that despite of the drastic changes we have right now, some have also  brought positive enhancement for the people. Like the virtual activities that are mostly encouraged by now. People are more inclined to the high technology gadgets nowadays so they can cope up with the fast changing world brought by this pandemic. And people of today are more concerned already about their personal hygiene and how to maintain cleanliness so they will end up virus and bacteria free.
