The Corona Backward Forecast: How We'll Be Astonished When The Crisis Is Over.
Futurologist Matthias Horx painted an optimistic picture of what Corona could do in society. “There are historical moments when the future changes direction. We call them bifurcations. Or deep crises. These times are now, ”he is sure.
Horx goes into his scenario: "Let's imagine a situation in autumn we say in September 2020. We are sitting in a street cafe in a big city. It is warm and people are moving on the street again.
Do they move differently? Is everything the same as before? Does the wine, the cocktail, the coffee taste like it used to? Like before Corona, or even better, what will we be looking back on? ”
Communication will become more binding again, attitudes to technology will change, home office has proven itself, cynicism is out. Corona will change the world because: "Crises work primarily by dissolving old phenomena, making them superfluous ...", writes Horx.
"We will be surprised that even the loss of wealth from the stock market slump doesn't hurt as it felt at the beginning. In the new world, wealth suddenly no longer plays the decisive role. Good neighbors and a blossoming vegetable garden are more important. ”
