The eruption of Korona is remembered in history for how it changed our behavior and attitudes in many areas of personal and social life.
Here are some examples
Disappearance of the office and disappearance during peak hours
People Karelian communication from home to work and back has been both a fun and disruptive way for human society. The concept of Rush Hour itself reveals how the 9–5 concept of working life – a jigsaw has become an integrated and integral part of human culture; approaching religious discipline. We all had to rush to work in the morning and hurry back in the evening, stopping for grocery shopping on the way home.
The congested car lines didn’t annoy us enough to say, wait a minute, why the hell do we all have to move back and forth at the same time? Why can not I do the same work in the office and at home when I am most productive?
Well, it took the virus to expose the absurdity of the way of mutual coercion, wasting two hours of our lives a day, sandblasting our nerves, and polluting the air we breathe. It seems that working from home can be even more productive and relaxing for most employees. Big companies like Google, Microsoft and Facebook are reducing their office space and willpower continue to hire employees work from home even after a pandemic.
Another great consequence: All those expensive central properties that have been mostly empty after 4pm can now be turned into homes for the same people to live and work.
Personal hygiene
One reason the human life cycle has grown from 50 to 100 years over the century has been hygiene training and implementation. Most of the slow and rapid causes of death have led to infections. More and more surprisingly, new research finds that many of the diseases thought to be idiopathic are related to infections. For example, subclinically infected teeth and oral bacteria have now been shown to cause heart attacks, arrhythmias and even Alzheimer’s or dementia. Some tumors such as cervical and prostate cancer, is also associated with viruses.
The chimney has traveled around the world for over a hundred years as we have coughed our palms, touched surfaces, and surrounded ourselves by transmitting viruses to our faces and eyes. How sustainable is paying increased attention to hygiene in our personal habits and how will they affect seasonal and other communicable diseases in the future; To be seen.
Meet, date, buy and play online
Who would have thought that Zoom and Tinder would find common ground. The dating and connection apps hadn’t even thought about incorporating video calling into their options. Covid has now turned many of the first dates into virtually good and bad, bringing less disappointment but also less excitement and surprises to the process.
The shutdowns also made online gaming and gaming much more popular than before. Gaming companies and Pay N Play Casinos have become popular in Finland and elsewhere in the world. Many online businesses find their income full. Apple’s App Store was exceptionally successful for the same reasons. Bored and isolated, people are looking for entertainment and excitement online.
Impulse shopping and online games release endorphins and are addictive. Betting on real money also poses financial risks. Finnish regulators have sought to resolve potential problems by setting a “loss threshold” for online gambling and forcing registration.
New directive introduced by Ministry of the Interior of Finland limits players to losses of € 500, a significant reduction from the previous € 2,000 ceiling.
The death of the film as we know it?
Streaming services have already called into question the existence of television. Unless there is a delay in the release of new titles for digital sales or rentals, affordability and rapid improvement in image quality home theaters had already killed the movie theater. Who wants to be in line with cramped 200 strangers, two of whom breathe or cough your neck to watch a movie if you could do the same home from the comfort of your pause button under your finger? If and when studios realize that by releasing new titles for home viewing at a higher price, they can achieve the same revenue as ticket revenue, it would be the last nail in the cinema concept, as we know it.
Covid has already done influence used to be a movie to visit, and movie chains are now campaigning to attract the public due to closures after withdrawal. Trends in alternative concepts such as food and viewing or lounge theaters were also already on the rise, giving you extra comfort in a smaller space. There is also Imaxwhich, of course, provides an experience you may not have at home. Otherwise, the cinema will look more and more like a sunset industry and can move into history as quickly as renting videos.
We needed a shake and got it in the form of a virus.
