Here we are now in the time of transitioning from the severe impact of the pandemic to what will be a new normal. Mass disruptive events such as the pandemic cause major cultural shifts, with many people developing new habits and making significant changes to their lives. Precisely how those cultural shifts will shape the new normal is uncertain. It probably won't be until at least 2023 that we will know with more certainty their long-term implications. Meanwhile, we have some indications based on trends we're seeing. That is what the five articles in this issue are focused on.

Don't forget; I'm also reporting on the location-based entertainment industry and Covid's impact on it in my mostly-weekly blog. You can subscribe by clicking here.

Hoping you can stay cool now that the summer heat has arrived. We'll be back with some summer reading for you in our next eNewsletter issue sometime in July.
