That will just be filled with more Internet (see people who have tons of leisure time (and are still being paid) due to the virus).

- gundmc 6y agoI don't disagree, but it's hard to point to the current mandated social distancing as empirical evidence. It's not like the people increasing their internet consumption could hang out at a cafe instead.
- RandomBacon 6y agoTrue, but there are other alternatives: You can draw, write, read, build things, etc. It just requires people getting creative, which is something we've getting less acustomed to as we instead consume more and more.
- asdff 6y agoThe virus isn't a good example. All you can do with your time really is spend time on the internet or wander your neighborhood awkwardly shifting past people for the 100th time. I think we might have a whiplash when this is done, where people start engaging with public space at a higher rate than before the pandemic. Imagine everyone itching to just go to a bar, or a beach, or a trail, or a movie theater, or a cafe, or anything. I can see stuff being packed for months.
