Why commute to work? Why not just work from home?

\\n

Why have in-person meetings, when you can do it virtually? Or \\u2014 why have meetings at all? Has anyone ever truly accomplished or created something truly unique and great during a meeting? Doubtful.

\\n

Consumerism and capitalism on pause

\\n

When we can no longer buy stuff, no longer go to the mall, no longer travel, no longer go to restaurants, bars, clubs, entertainment venues \\u2014 what is the point of earning money besides paying rent and feeding ourselves?

\\n

Producers shall inherit the earth

\\n

Who will thrive in this brave new world? The creators and producers, NOT consumers.

\\n

A brave new world of digital entrepreneurship 

\\n

\\n

I am excited. With the destruction of Society 1.0, there will be NEW GROWTH and NEW LIFE in this brave new digital economy. More cryptocurrency, more digital products, more digital art works.

\\n

More self sustaining things. More self-reliance. For example, if you cannot go to the art store, of course you can\\u2019t buy paint and canvases. So what are you to do? Make digital art on your iPad at home! Same goes with photography. Why buy and shoot film and process it, when you can do it all digitally?

Think new opportunities
