How social medias have settled into our daily confinement

We are now in the second week of our quarantine. We are all starting to get tired of this situation, but we also have set up some little daily habits while staying at home.

One thing was noticed : we all spend much more time on social medias. Whether on social networks that we were already consulting, we also noticed that some apps like Skype, Zoom, or House Party never have been more downloaded then recently. 

In fact, even those who are not used to consult social media a lot are now doing it a lot because it has become one of the only simple ways to communicate and be able to talk to our friends, our family, our entourage.

Indeed, there are now friendly meetings, parties that are organized on these apps. 

We are now used to viewing our social medias account, talking much more through video call software. Social medias are, during this very special time, a real simple way to take news with each other.

A lot of forums, blogs, and google pages are publishing tips on « How to live well in quarantine ». They recommend a lot « the power of social media » : whether it is to talk to people, get information or to work. Many advise on how to pass your business online with the influence of social medias : an adaptation that could totally change careers and revolutionize one’s work.

We have seen that the social media, which can be criticized for many reasons, also come a great deal of help during this period because we had top stop all our social and professional activities. Social media can finally show in some way the adaptation of humans during this crisis.
