  4. Instead of engaging in meaningless small talk, people ask what topic someone has been obsessed with lately.
  5. Ads are abandoned.
  6. Working from home is now default.
  7. Restaurants carry common "Safe food" menus, and silent seating options.
  8. Social capital is no longer about how much you earn, and what kind of success you have, but about knowledge of obscure movie references.
