*Ring ring* goes the alarm. You open your eyes, check the phone for emails/texts. You gather a little more strength, roll over to your laptop, sign in for work/class. While you are at it, you also scroll through social media for the latest gossip, read the news, get a doctor’s appointment, buy groceries, food, and whatnot, all from the same laptop.
Embracing the Digital Revolution: Life within Four Walls and a Screen
From a whole world outside to within four walls and a screen, such has become our life.
Education and Business Unleashed: The Online Transformation
“Schools, Colleges, Movie Businesses, and More. Study shows that ever since online classes began, students are retaining information better and faster. Many companies are also considering work-from-home to continue in the longer run. WFH has companies saving a lot of money that usually goes into the functioning of an office all while increasing productivity.”
Entertainment Beyond the Screens: The Rise of OTT Platforms
“It is not just the professional part of our life that is adapting to this new norm permanently. When it comes to the movie business, the use of OTT platforms has seen a huge rise. The fact that some of the best artwork came out during a period of uncertainty in real life adds to the quality of content in such platforms. Another field that has benefited from going online is mental health. With a surge in mental illness, people find it way private and convenient to talk to a therapist over an online call.”
The Digital Divide and Its Shrinking Boundaries
“While the digital divide is a reality, the divide is certainly becoming smaller by the day. With 4G connectivity and digital awareness, even the most traditionally offline industries were able to transition online. Online security is another aspect that’s furthered the trust that we place in employees logging in from home without risks of a data breach.”
Redefining Socialization: Virtual Connections and Beyond
“Working from the office or going to school is an inherent part of most people’s day to day, it is perhaps the socialisation that makes it special. With video calling and screen sharing, the socialisation aspect of the job is easily translated into the digital experience.”
A Digital Triumph Over Adversity
“The transition may have been new and challenging, it was certainly one that we could fathom overcoming thanks to the power of the internet. So much so that, Governments have started introducing schemes to go fully digital and have good internet connectivity in the remotest locations. The fact that most of us had a smooth journey in the midst of a pandemic is all thanks to the potential the internet holds.”
