The Covid-19 pandemic brought the world to a turning point which affected every aspect of our lives. Lockdown and social distancing rules confined us to our homes, which brought about a radical change in our way of living and working. In these difficult times, technology emerged as our biggest ally. Technology not only helped us stay connected with each other, but also changed the way we work and entertain.
From video conferencing to online shopping, in every sector technology Made its inroads. The Corona period made us realize that technology has become an integral part of our lives and we can no longer live without it.
These technologies changed life after Corona
Let us know how these technologies changed our lives-
1. Quick Commerce: Home delivery in minutes
It became difficult to get out of the house during the lockdown. In such a situation, Quick Commerce apps proved to be a boon for us. With the help of these apps, we could order every necessary thing sitting at home. Be it groceries or medicines, everything used to reach our house within a few minutes. Apps like Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, Dunzo etc. provide delivery within minutes.
2. WhatsApp Group: New office location
WhatsApp groups became offices for us during the lockdown. WhatsApp increased the number of group members to 1000. This made it easy for 1000 people to join a single group. From office work to chatting with friends, everything was done on WhatsApp groups. Many companies created WhatsApp groups for their employees, so that they can stay connected with each other even while working from home.
3. Video calling: face-to-face conversations
Video calling helped us stay connected with our friends and family. During the lockdown, we were able to meet each other only through video calls. Video calling played an important role in maintaining our social life. Many people had family members stuck in other places, so it became easier to connect with them through video calls.
4. Online Meeting: Home to Office
Online meetings changed the way offices work. Now we did not need to go to office, we could attend meetings from home. Platforms like Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams made online meetings easier. Even today these platforms are used for virtual meetings, webinars etc.
5. OTT: New medium of entertainment
OTT platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ Hotstar gave us the opportunity to watch movies and web series while sitting at home. Due to closure of cinema halls, people were attracted towards OTT platform. Now many people do not like to spend money on cinema halls, dish cable or D2H services. Instead of this, OTT subscription is being purchased.
The Corona epidemic has changed us in many ways. Technology has played the most important role in this change. Today our life seems incomplete without technology. These technologies have not only made our lives easier, but have also helped us stay connected with each other.
