Since the virus hit America, companies began to layoff and shift how they do business. Work from home is now becoming the new normal for many employees. School districts, corporate companies, and small businesses have had to restructure how they do business. No longer can these companies just survive off of walk in customers, in class teaching, one product, or service. They now have to think in terms of multiple streams of income.

Industries like the trucking industry, and the manufacturing industry have begun to move towards using automated trucks and robots to get the job done faster. Robots, Drones, and self driving cars along with other automated technologies are pushing the economy into automation.
