I think that's too dismissive of some undeniably strong trends over the last 20 years. Remote work will continue to increase, brick and mortar retail will continue to suffer, more and more education will occur online and support for a more mainstream healthcare system will continue to increase. These things are all already happening and there is nothing to suggest these trends will slow or stop. But there is plenty of reason to believe this pandemic will accelerate those trends, simply by virtue of fast-forwarding the current trajectory. Maybe the OP was offering a somewhat extreme take, but none of these phenomenon are controversial and no "pre-conceived notions" are required to acknowledge obvious trends already in progress.
