How COVID-19 Affects People’s Connection
In this complicated world, everything happens or ends very quickly or constantly. It is not hard to imagine that in the current month when people are still lamenting the soaring prices of social changes, a sudden virus caught the world by surprise. While the sudden emergence of COVID-19 has taken away countless lives, it has also quietly affected our lives.
I remember that in my impression, the most frequent word is social distancing. The distance between people has become longer and longer due to the epidemic. When we can only work or live on the Internet, it will have a huge impact on everyone’s mind and body. When there is no epidemic, we can hardly imagine the experience of staying at home for dozens of days without going out. But the sudden appearance of COVID-19 made everything a reality. From my personal point of view, I think the Internet has profoundly affected the connections between people during this epidemic. Because when the epidemic is coming, we are facing the problem of being unable to go out. The Internet provides a platform for mutual exchange or sharing. The Internet can maximize the comfort of people during the epidemic. But when people are used to or rely on the Internet to communicate and connect, it will have a very bad influence on the operation of the entire world.
For the example of the Internet serving humanity. A controllable living room is a good example. When we install the intelligent control living room, we only need to speak some passwords by voice. The intelligent system installed in the living room will meet our corresponding conditions, such as turning on and off the TV. But at the same time, an overly intelligent system is also a double-edged sword. When we overuse it, it will increase our inertia.
