Coronavirus Lockdown

I guess you could say that no one in the world was expecting this coronavirus outbreak to wind up as serious of an event as it is. I for sure, did not expect school or the entire world to be shut down due to events that happened thousands of miles away from where I live. Overall, this pandemic has turned into a wild ride throughout the whole way. During this pandemic, the online move to school was really rough for me. I like having a structured life and academic environment for me to do work and live in. With the requirement of staying in my house, this became extremely tough. Along with this, professors and students didn't expect to have their classes turned into online form, which through everyone through a loop of confusion for a while. Everyone needed to adapt to their new environments and learn how to live their lives a little bit differently. The things that have helped me cope through the coronavirus pandemic probably have to be the occasional movie, games, food, and sleep. The main things we can do right now to survive this freak accident is to stay calm and carry out with our lives in the best way we can see fit. These next months will be hard for the world, but there is always a bright light at the end of the tunnel.

Technology is the pinnacle point of the advancements of the human race. Specifically, electronic technology has swept the world with amazing inventions from miniature desktop computers we call smart phones to artificial intelligence in physical robotic forms. With these amazing inventions brings some unexpected turn backs and effects that come after. An example of this is that due to people being more invested in mobile devices such as smart phones, they now become prone for addiction to these products. Due to them becoming more reliant to these products, they lose social skills that are necessary to the development of their personalities. Personally, I think that technology, like our phones, brings people together more easily than without them due to social media, instant messaging, phone calls, and more. Especially in times like these with the corona virus outbreak, people can stay connected with one another. They can watch television and stay up to date on current events, play games online with their friends, and continue school with programs online such as zoom and Skype. Technology allows people to stay connected to each other, but it is in a different way than face to face interactions. It is not necessarily bad; it is simply a type of variant of interaction that is not yet fully accepted by every person or community.
