They’re calling it the “new normal.” A world in upheaval. What will that new world look like?The first thing to recognize is that, of the changes we’re seeing now, many of them will be permanent in the same way 9/11 changed the way we move in society. Tight airport security checks never existed before 9/11; now they’re an unfortunate daily way of life. So, too, will it be After COVID-19 . Societies will be structured differently, more odious travel arrangements the least of them.
Ten years from now, forests will be growing as paper disappears. That, together with renewable energy power that hopefully includes nuclear power and electric vehicles, means the cleaner air we’re witnessing today will become a more permanent reality. But perhaps not to the same degree we’re witnessing now. Coal-fired plants will follow the steam train. Almost all activities will be digital. This includes money, and banks will be one of the industries that will most urgently need to change.
It may be wishful thinking, but we could see a decline in the influence of politicians and the rise of genuine experts to take their place. COVID-19 has shown up the ignorance of too many politicians around the world, counteracted by the wisdom health experts have shown . That could well extend into other fields—global warming being a major, immediate one where the experts need to be listened to, and the politicians’ posturing cast aside.
