- Future Institute (@zi_news) March 24, 2020Corona virus: Back to the future - Corona can really do that to us
Matthias Horx from zukunftsinstitut.de aptly sums it up: His answer to the question of when the world will return to normal after Corona is clearly "never". Right now is the time - a historical point - from which nothing will be the way it used to be. But that is anything but a reason to panic. On the contrary: now there are many opportunities waiting for us, which we probably haven't thought of yet.
Corona virus: Back to the future - this is how our world looks like Corona
All that we have to do without at the moment could taste better after Corona than before: A carefree and free walk in the park with friends who for a while could not be met because of Corona. The espresso in his favorite café, a trip to other countries or cheering on his football club in the stadium. In general, being with other people. Horx compares the corona crisis to intermittent fasting: after 16 hours, food tastes even better. This is also the case with the current perceived losses that we are taking on in the fight against Corona .
Corona virus: Back to the future - these chances are actually behind the crisis
The corona crisis finally offers the opportunity to exploit and integrate the digital possibilities in many areas of professional life. Video conferencing could no longer be the exception, it could become the standard. Working from your home office could become normal.
Corona can make reading books a revitalized trend . Board games - especially via digital channels - or jigsaw puzzles with family or in the shared apartment are already the hip leisure activities of some stars on Instagram. After all, all of this could contribute to more calm and deceleration . And that is exactly what it may need now: The world is getting quieter for the time being - and that's a good thing.
In the meantime, the Abitur exams in Germany could be completely canceled.
