Did we decimate our economy or catalyse it’s progress?

[jamoor]

The coronavirus shut down various parts of the economy that are now struggling to recover.

The high street in particular, it seems train companies aren’t having a great time either due to WFH and city centre shops that served commuters being affected.


Has this actually been a destruction or the economy or have we just hit fast forward a decade without actually giving the economy time to adjust? The high street was dying anyway and was on life support.
Tech to encourage WFH has been there for a while, would we have been in this position anyway in 2030?

. We don't, but we have.

This was always coming, maybe more slowly than current madness means it will be. In digital world it functions & works. In every other aspect it works less well and downwards from there.
