There has been a rise in online media such as TikTok, Instagram, SnapChat, Facebook, online video games, etc. These platforms have made many lives easier to communicate with family and friends. When Covid-19 hit, the whole world changed. People couldn’t go outside without a mask and were told to just stay inside. The pandemic forced kids to stay inside and do online school and many adults lost their jobs.
