I keep hearing/reading people saying the world will never be the same after this crisis is over.
Some think we'll be more grateful for all the little things we now miss (e.g., going out to a cafe or meeting with friends) and be more kind to one another.
Some think the days of working in an office are over and working from home will be more common.
Some think the pace of life will slow down.
Some think Capitalism is finished.
What do you think?

I'm definitely more appreciative of the little things that I took for granted. Hopefully, people will reflect on what is really important in life, and in general feel a greater sense of community. I'm unsure of how this will change everyday life moving forward.
She's been shopping this way at the club for 6 years or more and because of this virus she won't be the only germaphobe who will go to this extreme to shop.

People will be very appreciative of what they have/had, but that will expire as we sink back into our daily routines.
I am thinking that maybe a lot of companies will re-imagine their workforce. It would be nice if we can have a lot of people working at home. It would cut down on pollution and companies can save a lot of overhead.
I would like to see (ahem, USA) people stop rejecting scientists and people with knowledge. These people need to hold prominent roles in our government and society.
I hope we realize that we have enough resources for everyone on this planet so they can meet their basic needs and thrive. I hope that greed dies a quick death, never to return.

People worship material shit more than they do nature, each other.
The state of the world has bummed me out for very long now. I hope there are better days ahead.
Like I said, I think I would take a further emphasis on science and knowledge. Especially in the US where people seem to think that clutching a flag, chanting USA! and paying unlimited money into a bloated military makes us invincible to anything.... and leadership is all based on 'teams', and we cant be harmed, even if we elect a reality show con man as president just to 'win'. Maybe, just maybe, this can mend the great divide we have in this country ( and has bled throughout the world in places like UK, Brazil, etc).

I look forward to telling them to take their non-essential, office working, number crunching selves to a hole and crawl in and rot where they belong.
No offense to office workers and number crunchers with empathy, of course.

Clever. I've been thinking about how we would share celebratory cake at work or when people share treats. Old world.
And biden better be talking about this.
Agreed, Biden needs to talk about this!
Let's up the pay for things and everyone can live a good life. Better quality of life.
I'd like to see that change.
Sealed Decontaminated and Certified Food dispensers kinda like Arcade Claw games will allow you to choose different items to be placed into containers.
Going off OP Question...
People stock shelves... That will go away. I see more automation in stocking. More pallet ready shopping like Costco..etc..
Isles will be one way only ... no longer allowed to roam grocery store..customer traffic will flow in one direction only. It will look more like an IKEA showroom.
Check out - scanning tech can do entire cart or items in bags without stopping to interact with checkout counter.
They modeled it after Ikea and it sucks.
