Look at pre 2012 SV. All the ping-pong tables, all the beanbag chairs, the free beer, the free laundry, the sleep-pods, the cafeterias, etc. 'Cynical' people thought that these accruements were meant to keep you there and working all the time. People got rid of their apartments, set up Winnebagos in the parking lot. Intents do matter, but still, if you were that kind of person, the one that thought Google was just college 2.0, well, yeah, quarantime is not going to be good to you.
This pandemic is resetting a lot of things. Expectations of intimacy are another thing on the list.
Thats... a lot more about rent prices than people wanting to be at work all the time.
One of my answers: the greater geopolitical community woke up to the power of Web 2.0 with Tahrir Square and the questions that social media technology poses to us all. Largely, Tahrir Square was the high water mark of Silicon Valley and the old promises of free information exchange and the hippie ethos that spawned it all. The reaction by the geopolitical leaders was swift afterwards.
Again, super complex topic, I cannot stress this enough.
It's not healthy to live your entire life so embedded within a corporation.
