The Covid–19 touch

From Daily Maverick – 26 Nov 2020

Offices were always going to become optional. Video conferencing was always going to drag us into a global market. The Internet was always going to make the world smaller each year. Nobody could predict the rapid acceleration of these trends in 2020.

Believe it or not, we have the pandemic to thank for these advancements, with technology finally thrusting us into a new world of remote work, video conference sales calls, global digital events and teams working from wherever their homes may be.

Like it or not, this was always where the future was going, it just arrived with a crash, not a whimper.
