내 침대에 누워 지금부터 6개월, 1년, 10년 후 우리는 어디에 있을까? 내 직업은 어떻게 될까요? 우리는 다시 평범한 삶을 살 수 있을까요?
코로나 바이러스가 경제를 강타하고 있는데 상황이 그대로 유지 될까요? 이 모든 것이 상당히 압도적이지만, 우리는 그것이 어떤 것인지 알고 있는 것 같습니다. 이전에 TV와 블록버스터에서 본 적이 있기 때문에 만남이 덜 낯설지만 경험하는 것과 보는 것은 별개입니다.
그러나 이것 역시 희망이 있습니다. 우리 인간은 우리가 사는 방식에 적응하는 특성이 있습니다. COVID-19와 싸우기 위해 새로운 환경에 정착함에 따라 이 새로운 세트는 곧 우리에게 정상이 될 것이며 곧 우리는 편안하게 사용하세요.
일부 핵심 산업이 발전하는 곳에서 많은 산업이 도태될 것입니다. 기업과 경제는 다르게 작동할 것입니다. 기술은 많은 회사의 핵심 초점, 중추 및 전달 메커니즘이 될 것입니다. 기술 행사는 더 이상 예전처럼 열리지 않고 AI가 시장을 장악할 것이며 다양한 분야에서 더 많은 변화가 있을 것입니다.
이 외에도 사람들이 이전에 운영했던 방식과 현재 운영하는 방식에 엄청난 변화가 목격될 수 있습니다. 이해를 돕기 위해 간단한 분석이 있습니다.

Covid-19는 세상을 어떻게 바꿀까요?
일부 주요 산업이 새로운 유통 메커니즘에 적응함에 따라 상황이 바뀔 것입니다. 기술의 더 많은 보급이 목격될 것입니다. 이미 우리가 공부하고, 일하고, 소통하는 방식에서 미디어 소비의 변화가 주목받고 있습니다.
어떻게 하면 정상적인 Z세대로 돌아가야 할지 고민하는 대신, 밀레니얼, X세대 모두 변화에 적응하고 있다. 다음 통계는 상황이 어떻게 변하고 있는지 보여줍니다.
In addition to this, we will see a change in different industries.
COVID-19 Change in Different Industries
1. Education – With schools, colleges being temporarily closed people are shifting towards online teaching. As more and more people are adopting it soon, we will see a decline in the use of physical books. Not only this, the need for colleges and schools will also reduce.
Technology will become the main channel for imparting education. There will be a reduction in college fees, allowing more people to pass college. Hypothetically speaking, we will have a more learned and educated crowd. This all might sound too good, but it has its drawbacks. Children will not be able to learn to work with larger groups, make friends and their physical growth will also be restricted.
Not only this, but people will also become less social and will not like to interact with others in person.
2. Medicine – Due to various reasons, telemedicine is not accepted. But since people are stuck at home and they are using this method, to get the treatment soon, we will see a boom in the online consultation. Right now, doctors don’t promote it as they don’t feel comfortable and consider it risky, but this won’t change things. If people find it convenient, we will see telemedicine rising. But to make it a success some policy level changes will have to be made and insurance companies will also have to look for new solutions.
3. Remote working – As people are staying at home and working remotely soon, we will see companies following it as a norm. Although it won’t be fully applied, flexibility in the working environment will be witnessed. No longer will they have to leave their job to look after their children. Also, the male chauvinist society will understand how to help the partner and manage work.
For essential services, there will surely be a risk because hackers will take advantage of home network vulnerability, and an increase in cyberattacks will be seen.
As remote working will increase a severe downturn for commercial real estate will be seen.
4. People will care more about product pricing – The economic recession brings a rise in price sensitivity. Due to the outbreak, people might end up losing their jobs; this means they will have no wages; therefore; companies will have to bring down the prices of daily commodities.
5. Restaurants will shut down – Restaurant owners are not concerned about reopening they are worried about how they will operate. With social distancing prevailing, people will not like to visit restaurants, food halls, etc. Therefore, a new business model will have to emerge where there will be more take away.
6. Digital services and e-commerce will make lasting gains – Companies who provide goods and services without coming in physical contact will be the winner. Remote work services like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Slack, online delivery like Amazon, Walmart, live streaming like Netflix, Hulu, Sling TV, virtual reality companies like Oculus all will rise.
Social media traffic will increase, but companies will not be able to make a profit from social media campaigns. Keeping this in mind, Coca-Cola has already withdrawn all ad campaigns.
In short, food delivery services, e-commerce platforms, digital services all will be the winners. As the economy will improve, they will gain more because consumer’s buying habits will already be altered by that time.
7. Jobs will be made automated – To survive economic crises, firms will have to let go of their least productive workers, they will automate what can be automated. Those who will be able to cope with this change will emerge as a winner, rest others will have to suffer the consequences. With time companies will realize the functions made remotely capable can be done by highly skilled workers in lower-cost countries. In short, the work from remote domestic will move to remote overseas.
8. A decline in travel – People and goods will travel less, and the border will become less porous. This will strengthen domestic manufacturing and companies will move their manufacturing centers to their own countries.
The government will adopt widespread and intrusive surveillance. People will not like to stay in hotels. In the wake of this epidemic, a decline in the booking of all accommodation types is already seen.
Brand name hotel chains see a 26% decline where Homeshare rentals witness 30% and boutique hotels 30%.
9. Fitness – No longer, you will have to pay those hefty gym memberships as the gym will come to your home. Wait! They are already here. The way the fitness industry adopted this change, we will see more fitness apps focusing on offering online classes and consultation from fitness experts.

10. Mental Health – Man is a social animal; there is an intrinsic need to socialize and meet others. But due to this pandemic, we all are stuck at home, thereby restricting our social lives. Due to this, a rise in online counseling platforms is seen as they help individuals connect with therapists for the right guidance. Companies providing online counseling will boom, and people facing anxiety issues due to pandemic and change in situations will open more for professional help.
In addition to this, many other industries will also witness drastic changes. The new normal will have its challenge and effects on the mindset of people.
This clearly shows how things are changing, and people are adapting to these changes.
Now what?
Fear is a powerful motivator of human behavior. People will go to any length to avoid losing what they have, and they will do anything that could keep them away from harm’s way. Apart from going to work, people will fear meeting anyone. They will be more socially distant; no one would be able to trust anyone.
Things will change in a manner that we would have never imagined. Companies will take advantage of it and will make us a slave to technology.
Now you need to decide what you want and how you want the world to be.
