The shape of the future

The world we go back in a few weeks will be transformed. The seed of change has been planted and it came in the shape of a sphere with antennas.

I wish I was talking about an alien spaceship. Unfortunately it is not as majestic as a flying saucer descending from the skies. It came in a much smaller vessel: the Corona Virus.

Much has been said about the pandemic. Where it came from, how it spreads and how fatal it can be. Here i’m interested in imagining the world when this is all “over”. It won’t ever be over, but at least, when the storm has passed and the virus becomes part of our daily lives.

Social, labor, economics, learning, and hopefully government will all be changed forever.

Are you, as individual, in position to become part of the forces that will drive this change? How would you imagine your participation? Is it active or passive? Is it designing new ways of social interaction or deciding where not to take your money? Have you ever thought about it? Do you even care?

Just think that in our day to day, small, trivial decisions, we decide the world we create for ourselves for those around us. So tiny as a drop of water digging a hole in the rock, yet so powerful to shape our future.
