How COVID-19 Has Created A Stir In The Mobile App World?

January 2020; started with a usual shout across the world, where we ended up making resolutions (surprisingly they always get carried forward to next year) and with enough social shout, we stepped into a new year, with loads of hopes and aspirations in our hearts and minds.

Then came March 2020, when the UN realized finally ? it is good to alert the world that COVID-19 is REAL & FATAL!

And this was the end of our regular life, where everything I mean literally EVERYTHING around faced a major brunt of the virus outbreak, and suddenly there was a halt to our daily walks, our regular office hours, meeting friends, weekend outings, shopping in the downtown area, buying groceries, and much more!

Businesses were left with no option but to shut their doors temporarily and sadly for some it was a permanent shut, many employees cried, as they lost jobs and earning resources, and the world which was once reeling in the best of worldly moments, was shut with no hope.

It was nothing less than a Greek tragedy, but hey wait there was another side of the story as well.

And this story was brought into existence, through the means of technology. Yes, you heard me all correct!
