“Instead of asking, “Is there a reason to do this online?” we’ll be asking, “Is there any good reason to do this in person?”—and might need to be reminded and convinced that there is.” - Deborah Tannen, Georgetown’s Professor of Linguistics. Ever since Covid-19 entered our lives, we said goodbye to our normal lives and entered a new phase of reality. Due to lockdowns and social distancing, we no longer have access to face-to-face interactions. Lucky for us, technology enables us to still keep in touch with our friends and family. Although not many of us are fond of voice and video calls, in a pandemic, it is the best and only option we have. Even if this pandemic may have brought a sense of unfamiliarity in our lives, but on the other side, it has shown the importance of staying connected with our loved ones, even if it means we must get out of our comfort zones.
