I wonder how this pandemic, once over, will affect how business operates and how governments operate in the future?
I would guess that business and corporations would want to automate production anywhere and everywhere they can.
Bring on the robots....
Robots do not get sick, and robots never need to go home to self quarantine.
I would guess that after the virus, technology will enter onto a new era, an era of super technology. Where governments, business and corporations seek to develop new ways to automate, new ways in using robotics, and to invent actual robots to replace those weak, unreliable, flesh and blood human employees. You know how corporations work, they always want to eliminate the unknowns. To eliminate the factors which they can not control. Well, that number one factor will soon become elimination of the hourly worker.
Just wait and see....
Many lessons will have been learned after this pandemic is over, however the most important lesson for governments and corporations might be how vulnerable we humans can be. How so dependent our economy and our financial well-being rely on human participation.
The robots are coming. Full automation is coming. A new focus on technology as never seen before is coming. Governments calling on a new era of technology, an era of super technology, or call it ultra-technology. Come five or ten years from now if you see one fast food burger being flipped or being served out of a window by any human, well... you won't. From the top down, or from the bottom up, which ever you prefer... people will become obsolete. Thru technology people will become obsolete. Business will demand it, corporations will empower it, and governments will pay for it. America may lead the way or maybe not, but certainly governments like Japan and China will lead the way and what they do will spread across the world into every nation.
Oh yeah! The robots are a coming.
And humans can sit home while their government mails out $1200 checks each month, or each week, or whatever is deemed necessary. So in the future when the next pandemic hits it won't even matter. Regardless of how many die or need to self quarantine, the economy can continue to breeze along as if nothing has happened.
And Will Robison, that certainly DOES COMPUTE!
DO YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT?
