The COVID-19 pandemic surely has been a challenging time for everyone on so many levels. But one of the good things born out of it was that we were forced to tap into our ingenuity.
It has taught us how to think outside the box and adapt to new ways of doing things, just so our needs are met, and life can go on despite the uncertainties.
Thanks to technology, we were able to continue doing important things such as buying essentials, working, learning, and so much more.
Now more than ever, we realize the important role that technology plays in our lives. Communication tools such as chat apps with video call feature and video conference apps such as Zoom proved to be very useful in keeping people connected.
Moreover, these communication tools have evolved into so much more during the COVID-19 pandemic. They have helped keep businesses operational and workers employed.
Some companies had to shift to purely online operations during the lockdown, while some launched their very own online platform to better serve the public, who are advised to stay home and keep safe.
Undoubtedly, the world has changed in so many ways and lives have been disrupted with the new routines and lifestyle we had to adapt to. This new way of living is what we now call the 'new normal.'
And clearly, a big part of the 'new normal' is all about pivoting most of our activities online or creating virtual versions of the things we used to do and enjoy in person.
Whether this 'new normal' is here to stay or we soon go back to how things were is still uncertain.
But for now, let's reminisce about all the things that went virtual this 2020 and reflect on their impact on our lives in this photo gallery.
