What seemed to them as a bane is now appearing to be a boon. The same parents who asked their children to go out and play are now helping them download apps to do online schooling and courses.
Be it communicating with each other, gathering information about the disease or getting our office work done, almost everything had to be done through the Internet, the social media. The only way now to get in touch with the outside world was by digital means. Then one day out of nowhere, came this Pandemic called COVID-19 and we were all locked inside our homes suddenly.
Just like everything, this phenomenon too has its negatives and positives, and though opinions were divided, we have largely accepted and embraced it. The old school people felt that this would spoil the future generation, while those stepping into the future saw it as an opportunity to succeed faster. Almost everything became available at the press of a button or the swipe of a screen. Children found more reasons to stay home, and adults too found comfort on their sofas and chairs. The outside world began to enter our indoor world and we got accustomed to it. We began spending more time indoors with our phones, computers and television, etc. People went to cinema halls, visited the theatre, played outdoor sports and spent time in parks or gardens.īut with the advent of the digital world, when the Internet started to become an integral part of our lives, our old lifestyles began to change. Even older people used to spend more time on outdoor activities after they were done with their home, college or work duties. Outdoor activities, whether for sports or recreation, occupied an important role in our lives. Parents would always ask their children to finish their homework and go out and play. We watched television at home for our entertainment, but we also entertained ourselves outside our homes or workplaces, and spent a lot of time outdoors. While we are doing that, the only way for us to communicate with each other is digitally through the cyberspace.īefore the age of the Internet and the Digitisation of our world, though we did communicate over the telephone and other existing mediums, we would also meet each other in person. According to studies, this virus can be avoided if we maintain a ‘Physical and Social Distance’ with people. We all have been advised to stay home or work from home for our safety and to break the chain of this dangerous virus.
Not just individuals, entire countries are now heading towards a turbulent future.ĭuring these adverse times, the one thing in our lives that has proved to be a boon and is helping us extensively is the ‘Digital’ world, the ‘Internet’ and ‘Social Media’. People are suffering, lives are being lost and many are staring at a life filled with uncertainties, be it mentally, financially or many other such difficulties. We, along with the entire world, are facing and traversing through some very difficult times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
‘Yin and Yang’ is a concept of dualism according to ancient Chinese philosophy it describes how, despite being opposites, things may be inter-connected and also complement each other.ĭue to the current scenario in our country, talking about or making any reference to things related to ‘China’ may not be looked at positively but that is just the point I am trying to make - sometimes in negativity there is positivity. In simple words ‘Yin and Yang’ can be termed as ‘Bad and Good’ or ‘Negative and Positive’.
