How Technology and Science is helping in Covid-19 Pandemic

The covid-19 Pandemic has wreaked havoc on the whole world. Our lives, both personal and professional have been greatly impacted. During this time of fear and uncertainty, our willingness to adapt to Technology has been our lifeline.

Technology is helping us in managing Pandemics

Covid-19 has directly impacted close to 1.45 billion students as schools and colleges have shut down. Thanks to Technology, most educational institutions have started to offer online courses to make sure that education is not disrupted due to the pandemic.

Individuals are inclining toward home conveyance to remain safe. Subsequently, the online market has seen gigantic development. Online teaching and work from home is a blessing that comes due to technology and is the greatest solution that helps in social distancing. Work from home has ensured business continuity. But just like the sides of a coin, technology has its own minus points.

Minus Points of Technology

 We have become more dependent on technology during the pandemic. Exposure to Mobile radiation is increasing. Therefore, cases of eye problems like myopia are increasing. People are watching movies late at night which affects their sleep cycle which results in fatigue and sleepiness. People are falling prey to fake news. As a result, Covid-19 cases are increasing. An increase in digital gadget use is causing reduced physical activities. Increased use of digital gadgets by children can cause low creativity. 

I do not mean to say that we should not use technology. But we should not let it rule over us. 

The pandemic has hit labour-intensive sectors like food, retail, logistics and manufacturing businesses.  Robots are used to clean infected areas. They are also used to deliver food to quarantined people. Swab collection is conducted to help medical professionals. Thanks to science, we can develop vaccines. Thermal guns are used to measure the temperature of people.

Beat Stage Fright with these tips

Technology has helped in three medical activities- diagnosis, surveillance and prevention. 

Covid-19 has proved that technological innovations have been helping in managing the pandemic in a timely, systematic and calm manner.

In the end, I would like to add that advancement in technology is steadily progressing; it will undoubtedly continue to grow exponentially. It’s we humans who have to adapt to changes in technology faster and continue to invest in building the technology systems for better preparedness.
