It read to me as a yet another rant, until this: >In 2008, average bandwidth speeds were 3 megabits per second. That's not enough for a Zoom meeting with reliable video quality. Now, it's over 20 megabits per second. That's more than enough for high quality video. I think the author has a point. Not exactly because of the bandwidth (for instance we're a remote company but we almost never use video in calls). Advances in technology (mainly the SaaS-ification of everything) slowly prepared everybody for remote work becoming mainstream. The pandemic only accelerated it, and forced C-level managers to admit that remote work won't kill their companies. If not the virus, the shift would've still happened a few years later. Just more gradually. So from that perspective the author is right - some changes are irreversible, because technology has made it so.
