Yeah, I've long felt that fear of change is a big reason companies have
resisted remote working. But with that blown out of the water, the
reduced cost in running a building (for employers) and the delights of
not commuting (for employees) might not be things they want to give up
again!

it's not everyone's cup of tea)

I use paper for essays and talks. Can't focus with a digital medium. I then
transcribe it with a standing desk. Can't do it sitting down.

After years of using hacky solutions like bathroom stools on the table, or
portable folding tables like the Levit8, I finally invested in a proper
standing desk. One of my better investments. Now I have one at both home
and work.

This month I added a walking treadmill to the setup. It arrived just in
time for lockdown. I'm surprised at how easy it was to adapt to it.

And some may never go back to keeping a maid or cook etc .. After a month
of doing household work, many may feel that they don't really need to
depend that much on domestic help, especially with the right gadgets 
