SOMETHING THAT WILL AND IS HAPPENING NOW AND SOON
Very interesting read and many of these, if not all, will probably happen ::::: The world that is already here.
πTHIS SAYS "The Economist" about 2021
15-point summary from an analysis of more than 50 experts, of what is coming for 2021.
π1-Humans want to socialize again but remote work will basically stay the same. The mixed work model is unrealistic, we will simply continue to work online from our increasingly adapted homes and with meetings in fun and different places every month to socialize and connect. Multiple spaces will be created for large digital meetings with all solutions resolved. Nobody wants to live in traffic or in that maelstrom of information and work again.
π2-Offices close at a very high percentage and that backward model is taken up by disruptive technologies. Every day we will have more digital assistants to work efficiently. Those big corporations will forever be remembered as the huge mammoths of 1980-2020 in extinction. People don't always work like that and they won't forever work on that same scheme.
π3-Work hotels disappear by at least 50%. Travel, congresses or work meetings never return as they were, if they can be done online. Work tourism practically disappears. Calls turn into video calls. International boards in online boards. The great congresses in technological systems. New product launches in digital form and innovative technologies. Congresses supported by A.I. To receive personal experiences.
π4-The houses become more technological and adapted to daily work. Many companies will be dedicated to solving the needs of working from home. The house changes location. Today you can live outside a big city, work the same and generate the same value. The physical location goes to a second term for companies, but to a first term for workers.
π5-Productivity no longer depends on a boss who reviews you, now it is through platforms that help you measure results, KPIs and efficient times. The way of hiring staff is rethought. Hiring the best in the world today is easier, cheaper and more efficient. There will be no difference between hiring local and foreign staff. Today we are all global.
π6-Everything repetitive becomes virtual and in a subscription scheme. From churches, art, gyms, cinemas, entertainment. Sometimes we will go to physical things but the numbers will not give to maintain the physical infrastructures that were had before. Fewer places will be able to keep some models open. Sophisticated in-home VR services are coming soon.
π7-Companies that do not invest so
less 10% in new technologies will disappear. The traditional company came to an end in 2020. It only remains to wait for its final death. With limited resources, companies require more certainty and better investments. A technology company, new and fresh today, can unseat one that has been doing the same for the last 50 years. As the "dark kitchen" model has grown, many services will copy the model.
π8-Tourism for entertainment returns fully strengthened in the second semester of 2021, always accompanied by a lot of technology in its operation, from the purchase, the operation and the experiences to receive. People appreciate more than ever visiting the natural but with highly technological solutions. More remote locations, more authentic experiences supported with 24/7 digital assistance. Interaction is the foundation of the entertainment of the future. Be a part, experience something authentic and discover information in a dynamic way.
π9-The handling of personal data becomes more delicate and the large platforms will change. People go back to paying subscription stuff because of the sense of transparency that it involves. They prefer to pay than give away their data. The big brands today are worth their credibility. Everything can be copied or replicated except prestige. The value of the company today depends on many factors and not just its annual sale.
π10-The workforce is dramatically reduced and many simple operations are given to the A.I. By 2024 the A.I. It will already handle complicated operations in millions of locations. But mainstream adoption begins in 2021. A very big global layoff season is coming. Unemployment occurs for multi-factorial reasons and not only because of the economic crisis.
π11-Education will never return the same. It becomes face-to-face but technologically adaptive. Each one what they need. Studying offline and in-line will be normal. Schools and universities are transformed into a hybrid scheme forever. It returns to the scheme of hiring highly qualified people to fill important positions, but candidates without a university degree are accepted, for less important positions, who have the necessary experience.
π12-The medical system adapted to the digital with remote technology forever. A teleconference medical appointment will be normal. People will continue with rapid Covid tests throughout 2021 to feel safe. The vaccine is very fast-paced but you will find great challenges along the way. Large hospitals rethink their operation due to the economic crises they have suffered from Covid 19. People get less sick from viruses, bacteria and diseases due to poor food handling thanks to a recurrent cleaning of the common individual.
π13-The personal economy contracts, new ways of generating business transactions are used and people save more. A high percentage of family spending goes to activities that were previously unpaid and vice versa. The purchase of items such as elegant clothes is replaced by casual clothes. The radical transformation of habits continues in 2021. Electronics continues to be the most appreciated and acquired product for another year.
π14-Commerce continues to grow but online, players like Facebook, Tik-Tok and YouTube enter to compete with Amazon. Close a percentage of 50% of global physical stores. Stores survive thanks to being experiences and show rooms, but real commerce by the end of 2024 will be greater online than in person in many areas. Large shopping centers will be trapped in time. Very few will survive in the long term.
π15-Climate change will be a very talked about and supported topic. Large industries will continue to transform and A.I. to understand and operate it better. The adoption of bicycles as the main transport will continue to grow thanks to the transformation of cities. We will move from the Covid issue to Climate Change as the main issue in a natural way. An opportunity for global union to help transform and solve the big issues.
The world that's already here.
