Streszczenie

Koronawirus zmienił świat. Czy zmienił też nauki techniczne? Czy w obliczu pandemii są one jeszcze potrzebne? Odpowiedź jest jednoznacznie pozytywna. Główne wyzwania naszego świata, takie jak zmiany klimatyczne, są nadal aktualne. Poza tym trafiając na kwarantannę, cały czas mamy dostęp do czystej wody i energii elektrycznej. Nowe inwestycje w odnawialne źródła energii także nie zostały wstrzymane. Covid-19 nie przyniesie ze sobą końca świata jako takiego, ale nastąpi koniec świata, jaki znamy. Niektóre sektory gospodarki, w szczególności sektor usług, turystyka i transport, mogą przestać istnieć lub czeka je głęboka recesja. Oznacza to gigantyczny kryzys ekonomiczny o niespotykanej dotąd skali, wykraczający daleko poza gospodarkę i rynek pracy.

Abstract

Covid-19 changed the world. Has technical science changed as well? Do we need them during pandemic? The answer is clearly positive. The main challenges of our world, such as climate change, are still relevant today. In addition, during quarantine still we need access to water and electricity. New investments in renewable energy sources have also not stopped. Covid-19 will not bring the end of the world as such, but the end of the world as we know it. Certain sectors of the economy, in particular the service sector, tourism and transport, may cease to exist or face a deep recession. This means a gigantic economic crisis of an unprecedented scale, going beyond the economy and the labour market.
