CNET, a U.S. IT media outlet, selected Pandemic, Hybrid Work, Cryptocurrency and Inflation, Space Travel, and Next Generation Internet and Electric Vehicle Business as five trends that will shake the world in 2022.
Five Keyword Trends in 2022
◇ Pandemic and the medical industry.
First of all, the COVID-19 was cited as a trend to determine the direction of the world next year. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the pandemic of COVID-19 on March 11 last year.
At that time, few predicted that the closure, social distancing, and supply chain disruptions caused by COVID-19 would continue for nearly two years. Expectations were high that the vaccine could soon return to daily life with the release earlier this year. However, restrictions seem to resume as Omicron mutations hit Delta.
We all hope that COVID-19 will become indigenous to endemic diseases, but the possibility of returning to the 2019 situation cannot be ruled out. CNET predicted that even if COVID-19 ends, healthcare will be different from before after the pandemic.
Teletherapy has begun to become more common and vaccine development methods have changed. In the past, vaccine development usually took more than 10 years, but thanks to innovative mRNA technology, the COVID-19 vaccine was developed in 10 months. CNET evaluated that this is the technology of the century in the medical industry.
◇ Hybrid work and ambassador job.
Next, face-to-face and non-face-to-face mixed work types and “Great Designation” were selected as next year’s trends. Until now, most schools have been converted to face-to-face, but face-to-face and non-face-to-face operations have been mixed.
Despite non-face-to-face labor productivity, the need to operate large offices has also been reduced, and cost savings have been made.
At the same time, however, CNET predicted that there will be a “surprise” trend that continues next year. More people are quitting their jobs, putting their lives first. According to the U.S. Department of Labor this month, the number of retirees is the highest ever. CNET explained that it is impossible to remain unchanged in the two-year pandemic, and the succession of retirees is one of the manifestations of this change.
