A lot of folks shares your sentiments here. I actually think after this virus shutdown the indoor theaters will go the way of the old Drive Inn theaters went what with internet streaming and DVD's and different other ways to get access to newly released movies, or at least to come as a result. There will be changes to our society and the fallout has not even begun yet.
I agree. Hard to predict all of the changes, but I think movie theaters will fade away. People are happy enough streaming content at home.
I also think a lot of Americans have depended on restaurants too much. They are expensive and possibly unhealthy. But many Americans don’t know how to cook (some folks microwave a frozen dinner and call it “cooking a homemade meal”). I wonder if food preparation as a hobby will really take off.
And when social isolation ends, will people decide that social media and their phones are not really good substitutes for contact with people? Handy tools, sure, but maybe being tied to electronics all day isn’t ideal.
Changes of some kind are bound to occur.
I agree with you that lots of things will change. Families are having dinner prepared and served at home. This is one potential benefit from this catastrophe. Getting to better know your family while saving tons of cash eating meals at home might become vogue again.
