When I was 15 years old, I got my first mobile phone. My dad bought it for me because of the pandemic. It was the year the coronavirus hit, and everyone was stuck at home. There were so many restrictions in place, like testing and safety precautions. Most jobs, except for essential medical workers, shifted to working from home. This led to a surge in online platforms like Google, Microsoft, and Apple, which started developing new devices and platforms to help people work and learn remotely. All my teachers started teaching online using platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. I could see them on my computer screen. In my free time, I played games on my phone and participated in extracurricular activities. It was a whole new way of learning and living.
