Most haven't yet realized one important thing: the "office" model ended about 25 years ago (~1995) with the personal computer explosion. Once it was turned into a laptop, the office was dead in the water.
This (vacant office space beyond your imagination - https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/visualizing-vacant-office-space-san-francisco )
… all started then. The computer became the office. The computer became the file cabinets. The computer became the meeting place. The computer became the entire office in one small two pound piece of metal and plastic. A 100 million pound concrete and steel building shrunk into a laptop.
All of your work is done on the computer now. Why go to an office tower and use the computer>…? People sit in the office and push the same buttons on he computer that they can do at home. Stay home and do the same work. Zoom in for meetings. Continue putting documents on file and email them to people at the push of a button.
The owners of the companies that rented that space suddenly woke up and told the people to go home and they abandoned the offices. That is why these huge behemoths are empty now. The plan-demic was the perfect excuse that nobody could argue with….after all…it is the virus!
Same thing with Amazon. Stores are gone. The Computer shrunk the entire world. No need for office buildings, stores, malls, driving to pick things up, etc.
The computer does it all for you. It has hit the flash point of Star Trek in one quick plan-demic. The plan-demic was not an accident. It just fired 40% of the workplace in a matter of months. It will accelerate as businesses have to adapt to stay alive. Adapt or go under. Compete or go under. Fire or go bankrupt. And the people will have to adapt or be fired.
BOOM! In one generation people have largely become irrelevant. AI took over and does all or most of the work.
First they seduced you with the shinny computer. Then you all went out and bought several of them. Then they fired you for the computer. The computer doesn't talk back. The computer doesn't take sick days. The computer doesn't require office space, insurance, benefits, or pensions.
Pretty soon the $Million dollar house will coast $20,000 or less. How? They will simply print the house on a computer, and use composite materials in as little as two days. These houses will have solar paint on them. They will use the trash we throw away to build them. In fact, they are already doing it now. The differences will be many, but the big difference is that they will last 150 years or more. They will be loaded with high-tech, free energy, etc. And they will cost 1% of today's house. This is just the beginning.
You do the math.
The computer is your friend. You now spend most of your day on the computer or iPhone, just like you are doing now.
