Looking at the creator bios, I have a tough time taking this document seriously.
Nonetheless there are some decent ideas in here, even if the presentation is less than ideal. My prediction is that many of these predictions are vastly overblown. Most companies and people are treating this as a temporary setback, not a dramatic change. The next time there is a similar event, I also doubt we will see a lockdown of this magnitude. Economists and epidemiologists will be studying this for decades and future response plans will incorporate economic consequences of public health actions.

Most people want to physically work with other human beings, rather than sit at home all day. I imagine we will see increased flexibility and redundancy, rather than a total shift to working online.
