The COVID – 19 pandemic has created a truly unprecedented situation which has affected humanity as a whole. This has been highly disruptive for the economy at a global level. However, technology has significantly gained an advantageous position during these challenging times while succouring the hardships brought about by the pandemic.
COVID – 19 has brought about digital transformation and has significantly accelerated enormous developments which had been underway before the pandemic. The situation has led to development of emerging technologies and innovations to come up with reduced human-to-human contact, automated processes and increased productivity amidst social distancing.
Today, technology is set to be at the heart of every workplace as we return to office, post the coronavirus induced lockdown. Workplaces are making changes in their conventional systems to adhere to social distancing norms and monitor employees using cameras with thermal sensors to ensure they are not carrying fever. Factories are using wrist bands that alert workers if they get too close to each other and hospitals are using heat-sensing trackers that can keep an eye on patients’ body temperature. Education has changed dramatically, with the distinctive rise of e-learning, whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital platforms.
There is going to be a fundamental change in how things work and new business models, supply chains and mechanisms will come into being. A lot of new ideas and projects will also come into play in the forthcoming times. The post-covid world isn’t simply about measures that focus on employee safety but it’s also about efficiency, speed, and cost-effectiveness.
