As the COVID-19 effects continue to drag on, it seems that how the new normal will be is not something anyone can predict with certainty. Every time that things seem to be setting enough to at least try to have a look, things change enough as to make predictions hard to make.
This time, the challenge is one that is faced globally. There is no country that has been speared, and we all have been affected by it in one way or another. The only thing that seems certain, is that every aspect of our lives has change in one or another. We are being forced to adapt, no matter if we like it or not.
The Internet, and the technologies around it, have gained far more importance than ever before. Not only that, those who know how to use them, or have the chance to learn them, have an advantage over those who don't have either of them.
Having access to them now is vital to be able to make out the most of the current situation or take the new opportunities as they present themselves. This gives a big advantage to those who already have what is needed to take on those new opportunities.
And more often than not, the best opportunities will be taken by those have access to those tools, and know how to use them effectively. As we stand, there is still a large group of people who either doesn't have full access to the tools we take for granted, or doesn't know how to use them effectively.
If there was a need to change the educational model, and the way we work, the pandemic made it painfully certain that we needed that change. Now, everyone is learning how those changes will look like.
