I think covid-19 could end up being a catalyst that shifts our development toward a cyberpunk future. The main focus in technology right now is figuring out how to make us feel close while we are far apart. And there's a lot more emphasis on tech right now in the public mind & culture. The economy's prolonged suffering as well as the market's may point towards a steepening in the trend of wealth concentration. The effects of climate change loom like a phantom in our wake, threatening to catch up to everyday life. Thoughts?

So is building things more than two stories high a human evolution or just a revolution in technology?

I get what your saying, definitely a shift happening. like my car was giving me problems so I was looking at vehicles and now dealers are giving virtual walkarounds or they just drop the car off. and they've had that before but I think things like that will be the new normal.

Swiss playwright Max Frisch described technology as "the knack of so arranging the world that we don't have to experience it". The more we're afraid to experience the world, the more society is going to want to accelerate the progress ov technology.

To Bod: both. Contemporary human evolution is manifested in technological revolution. And we do it fast, too.
Dorfnob gets what I'm saying here. The tech has been available, but the mindset executed during this pandemic is changing the way we use it. (also, I run grumgully in my shattergang brothers deck big props) To Lavod: Especially now, when the most positive aspects of life have been taken from us will we accelerate the progress.
Anybody know much about the age that followed the bubonic plague? I remember there was great art, but not much else

Interesting, the Coronavirus pandemic is accelerating Humanity towards a cybernetic/computer-intergrated society 
What cybernetic ability would I want? Probably a direct-brain connection to my cell phone. Oh, and Telescopic vision

I'm way too paranoid to let my phone connect to my brain. Personally, I think the kind of in body technology they discussed in Neuromancer turns me off. Hardware inevitably either goes wrong or becomes outdated. But a good set of new age muscle grafts picked up in Japan mixed with a tune up on my nervous system would be neat
