One of the best things COVID forced society to do is incorporate modern technology, in my opinion.

Indeed. If we look into the positive sides of having a covid issue we can notice the significance of engaging ourselves in the new technology. Nowadays digital transactions became common and many people became interested in crypto not only to use for payment but also for investment as well. What we've been through during lockdown is hard but because of various ways to take advantage the opportunity online it gives us an alternative to do transactions conveniently and think of how to earn using this modern technology.

Indeed, since the existence of Covid 19, of course there are positive and negative sides,
For some people, it seems a bit difficult to see the positive side because the fact is that the negative impact is certainly far more than the positive impact,
With the current pandemic, of course we also adjust and change our way of life, one of which is now in terms of online transactions and many more for sure

It's true that everything has changed so drastically because of covid. for the poor this is really very difficult if there is no handling and government assistance. I don't know how long this covid will end, I hope that the forum in this group from now on must be good at managing expenses. Because to get income is really very difficult. But I'm still very grateful to be able to work from home and earn something that can at least support our family.

Thank God COVID-19 is not a person, or it could be running for the President of the World, and could win - so many people are grateful to it.

People should issue COVID-19 NFT or create a meme from it. Funny that thanks to COVID-19 I managed to work less, or even work for 30min a day (that is something I wish my boss dont see) and earn same. I've spend much more time with family and helped my family with several things while "working from home". I really must be grateful, but grateful to God, that this virus did not touch my family, friend at all. At work we managed to get rid of ineffective employees and build a really strong team. But I really that we dont have all that "A Feast in Time of Plague" and live like we used to before 2019/2020.

One of the best things COVID forced society to do is incorporate modern technology, in my opinion. I'm pleased that the majority of us are now adopting technology and applying it to ourselves since it makes things so much easier. For example, when it comes to payment systems via digital payment platforms, I've noticed that most of us, including the government, are now using mobile applications to assist our citizens.

Another thing I've noticed is that social media platforms are now being used to start businesses and earn enough money to make a decent living. Last but not least, people are becoming more interested in cryptocurrencies as they discover that they may make money by investing in it. Many users are now aware of bitcoin's enormous potential and can be used in different applications such as payment method.

Thank God COVID-19 is not a person, or it could be running for the President of the World, and could win - so many people are grateful to it.

But, if seriously, COVID indeed advanced the world into the future, same way as other terrible events from the past did. We shouldn't praise COVID for that, though. Rather we should praise humanity for the ability of turning such horrible things into its advantage.

The pandemic changed the way the world worked and forced the application of technology solutions to work. People are working from home more. Service industries such as catering and tourism have experienced a decline in productivity, and door-to-door services such as delivery and transportation have grown rapidly. During the pandemic, the banking and finance industry has made a lot of money thanks to customers choosing cashless transactions. Online shopping sites too, Amazone, eBay, Aliexpress... have made a lot of money during the pandemic.
The most important thing is that people's living habits and lifestyle change.

And things are never going to be the same, if the pandemic had lasted just a few weeks then people would have gone back to their old habits as soon as this was over, but more than a year and a half has passed and it is still not over, and once it is finally over people are going to be incapable of doing things as they did before because now they are used to the new way to do things, this means that industries like tourism and restaurants are still going to face difficult times as there is not going to be enough demand for those businesses to survive.

We are almost heading 2 years for this pandemic situation that we are experiencing and it do indeed affect us on any way from the way we do live and from the economic matter which this pandemic had changed out almost everything.

Actually we do really missed on going back into those our normal lives where before covid didn't happened.There are lots of things changed on everything but doesn't mean that we hadn't able to adapt the situation.

Yes, its hard but we do really need to deal with it because we wont be finding ourselves to move forward if we do just keep looking in the past.

It's true of course we hope to be able to return to living a normal life but indeed with conditions like this it will be difficult
it's better now we think for the future and we also don't know whether this Covid 19 can really disappear or not,
The most important thing is to stay healthy while hoping that the condition will improve

That's right.. it's very difficult to see the current condition. Covid may be living side by side with us. I don't know when it will end. At least we have to think about how we can survive in the future for the sake of the survival of our family.

The only benefit I see from covid is that if forced world economy to restart. Weak, useless, ineffective business and services has died, while those who wanted, evolved and survived. Those who wanted, managed to adapt their work to current realities. The bad thing about all this - humankind paid a really high price for all that.

the rich one must help people who starve, not only food, there are many thing like job.
this like replay your work, you start again from above, like look for customer, or job, and you need to walk uphill until reach checkpoint. you will survive again and again, need to build some stairs more and more.

Every bad has a good to it. Covid-19 wasn't good because it drained many economy and put them into recession. What about the lives that were lost and still losing, it has created fear and shaped humans to a new normal, face mask and distancing that are preached every time sounds like drums into our ears.

The other side too can't be overemphasized because the online jobs and businesses have grown away from what it was. Jobs online have started creating wealth and bitcoin rise to greater popularity is also part of it.

Everyone has a different response to COVID-19. Most people who are exposed to this virus will experience mild to moderate symptoms, and will recover without needing to be hospitalized and some also lose their lives.
As you said many are traumatized. And they are also difficult to work in the real world. So the world economy slumped.
Therefore, people flock to work online.

I am talking about the digital revolution that was already taking place, yet still had some bumps along the road to occur, and has been forcefully implemented by many companies that required their people to keep on working. I am also talking about the immense number of new influencers and subscription services that had increased their adept several times-fold. All this would have taken ages otherwise.

I somehow agree with this. Electronic devices were safe haven for boredom this past pandemic and it leads to social media platforms were these good video makers were reigning supreme. It is somehow positive for some but for normal workers who go to offices, its not.

Life is always changing, just look back 30 years ago when barely anyone was using the Internet or cell phones. And now we can do basically everything we need with our cell phone and just stay at home. Nobody needs to buy a huge desktop PC anymore, a tablet or laptop will do the same job while taking no space away. While being part of the change it seems like only small adjustments to our way of live, but during crisis times like corona, we realise how much our life is actually changing. I like the new normal with working from home more.

When the smartphones first came in to existence (around 2 decades ago), there was a lot of criticism from the "experts". They were saying that mobiles will never be able to replace the laptops and desktops. But in almost no time, smartphones poached in to the share of computers. Nowadays, the majority of users browsing internet use smartphones. Even for watching movies or movie serials, smartphones are being preferred. One reason is that time is scarce now and a lot of things need to be done simultaneously while traveling or working. Laptops are not suitable for this purpose.

Mobile phones really can not displace laptops and desktops, quite another thing is smartphones, which are simply a smaller version of laptops and desktops and therefore have much greater mobility Grin

Personally, I see little pleasure in watching TV shows and movies or conducting professional activities on small smartphone screens, but not everyone can afford to have a large TV screen, display, and most importantly, financially, too, due to lack of space. That's why billions of people stare at the small screen of a smartphone, while spoiling their health and vision.

COVID period can be the best thing happened for cryptocurrencies really. Because so many people started looking for new adventures in this time period. And they came across cryptocurrency market. And now, there are incredible amount of people who have become a crypto user. And the future is coming even faster than ever thanks to that. I didn't t hink that I ngwas going to thank COVID for something. Grin

There's still a positive effect from covid aside from the disasters it has brought to a million lives of people. And being in crypto is the best decision that i had made this time. Fiat transactions are no longer beneficial today because it will help spread the virus fastly so virtual currencies are definitely taking place. And people even adults and millenials are taking most of their time into internet transactions today so they become more inclined to new technologies that would be very helpful in living more convenient this time.

No matter what the conditions are, we must be ready to face the change itself. The world is progressing and developing, we must be good at adapting to change itself. Corona has a big impact, both positive and negative. Sometimes there is still a sense of gratitude that we work at home, we can get together with family every time.

I think most of us would rather not have had COVID. It has been devastating for many economies and it took a bad toll on people. However it has had some side benefits (some may argue that having Trump removed for now may be one of them, LOL).

I am talking about the digital revolution that was already taking place, yet still had some bumps along the road to occur, and has been forcefully implemented by many companies that required their people to keep on working. I am also talking about the immense number of new influencers and subscription services that had increased their adept several times-fold. All this would have taken ages otherwise.

demand for services that can be performed remotely or provide solutions to the challenges of reduced personal interactions, such as information and communications technology (ICT), and deliveries, has increased significantly. In a span of three months, the pandemic has resulted in a 63 percent reduction in demand for hotels, while increasing demand for ICT by a comparable rate

A source on the matter.

In every bad situation, there's a new door open for a greater opportunity. As we are now in the digital age, the COVID-19 pandemic forced traditional industries to transition into digital way in doing their own businesses. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of virtual class sessions increased because of the suspension of face-to-face classes. Other offices are transitioning from physical appearance in the workplace to just simply doing remote work-at-home. Same thing goes to the way we pay from using coins or paper bills, to cashless transactions.

It's the best time for the traditional business to adopt into digital way in doing their own stuff to survive during the pandemic.

World has changed and will never go back to as it was before the covid. Things like working from home will probably stay around forever now.
I just wonder if governments across the world will start investing more in science.
