[QUOTE="Aizen, post: 1314721, member: 14463"] Off the top of my head: - Greater focus on health: People now realize they and their parents are not invincible, and that drinking Coca Cola daily is not a great idea. Exercise and general fitness could see a resurgence across the board. - Stronger family relationships: Everyone's under one roof and mingling; there's no escape, so it's time to reflect. Personally, my relationship with the parents have improved. Honestly, we're all just happy that we're all healthy and together. - Proliferation of Remote Work: Tech-savvy workers have realized how stupid it is to commute for hours just to sit in front of a computer somewhere else. Simultaneously, lonely workers miss the casual interactions that offices offer. I expect to see a work/home hybrid emerge in the future, as the value lost through commuting is brought to light. - Widespread questioning of our "economy": This event exposes just how hard most Americans have been fleeced; I'm sure this will wake a lot of people up. Especially when cash starts running low. A lot of people have worked hard for decades, and within a week or two of shutdown, they're face financial ruin. After thousands of years of human development, how is this even possible??? And in a first world country, no less. Even medieval peasants accumulated some wealth. The whole system needs to be reset - we have more than enough resources for all Americans to live a decent life. [/QUOTE]
