One possible good future - move out to rural area - work remote - change jobs more easily in a truly global labor market - fewer but longer drives with autonomous cars - 24/7 delivery drones - socialize online & in VR Physical social distancing, digital social networking?

Depends on how real haptic suits will feel. If people can authentically feel a kiss 1000 miles away, most(and especially a new generation) will adopt it. Human physical proximity requires huge energy and is the ultimate barrier to maintaining our humanity and sanity. Or is it?

But how about when we get VR avatars of ourselves that can do the semi physical socializing, with maybe a neural interface option ? I would try that.

Me too but those VR women are all going to be guys pretending to be women.

even in a global labor market, it's nice to live in at least a town with a few amenities within a short stroll or bike ride or even (gasp) drive

I would move father out in a heartbeat. Or to the coast. Would have already if I knew I could always work remotely. Jobs, schools and internet are what tie me to cities.
