THE PANDEMIC HAS BROUGHT EVERYTHING TO A STANDSTILL SINCE THE PAST 2 YEARS. RIGHT FROM A 5-YEAR-OLD TO A 70-YEAR-OLD ARE AT HOME DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. BUT WHAT HAS KEPT EACH ONE GOING ARE MOVIES, WEB SHOWS, COOKING AND WHAT NOT. WE BELIEVE THIS PANDEMIC BROUGHT US CLOSE TO OUR OWN FAMILIES, WHICH HAD EVENTUALLY DRIFTED APART DUE TO THE WORKLOAD FROM OFFICES, TO HOMEWORK AND ASSIGNMENTS FROM SCHOOLS. BUT IT WON’T BE WRONG IF WE SAY THAT ALTHOUGH WE WERE CLOSE TO EACH OTHER IN THE PANDEMIC BUT A THING WHICH WAS MORE CLOSE TO US WAS OUR MOBILE PHONE, LAPTOP AND OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES. WE’VE SPENT HOURS AND HOURS SURFING ON THE INTERNET FOR RECIPES, FOLLOWING THE HUNDREDS OF REEL TRENDS AND WHAT NOT. RIGHT FROM A SMALL KID SITTING ONLINE LECTURES TO A 50-YEAR-OLD ATTENDING ZOOM MEETING, MOBILES AND LAPTOPS BECAME AN ESSENTIAL PART OF OUR LIVES.
