For those of us who couldn't get to the store, we had to find alternative ways to shop for essentials. Electronic devices have been a great way to stay connected to the outside world, even when we're stuck at home.

Smartphones have been an invaluable asset during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ability to stay connected and share information quickly and easily has been paramount to how we've navigated the pandemic. Smartphones have allowed us to stay up-to-date on the latest guidelines and regulations, enabling us to make informed decisions while also providing a platform to share our experiences and help each other. We've also been able to stay connected to family and friends, sending messages of support and using video call services to experience virtual get-togethers. Smartphones have provided us with a valuable tool for communication, learning, and staying connected throughout this difficult period.

Personal Computers

Personal computers have been a lifeline to many, and have enabled people to stay safe and productive during difficult times.

Today, home audio and video technology offer a wide variety of options to meet any need, whether it be a high-end surround sound system or a multi-room audio system. Home audio and video systems can provide an immersive experience and allow users to enjoy music, movies, and more in their own homes.

During the height of the pandemic, one of the best ways people fought off cabin fever was through movies on Netflix and other streaming sites. By entertaining themselves, it took away the boredom of being stuck indoors, as well as easing the restlessness of not being able to go outside.
