We have all experienced the confusing moment when silence, a bad internet signal, a frozen screen, and a webcam seem to work against you. Some days, electronic devices are just not playing in your favor. But relax, it's all part of the experience. Reset your modem. There's always a solution. You can always reconnect, just make sure to avoid speaking if you are on mute. That's the only thing we can't blame technology for.

Virtual communication no longer feels weird. Even if we still prefer in-person gatherings, these tools have given us the comfort of working and studying from home, as well as the possibility of spilling tea with our friend over a call and actually seeing their facial reactions to what you had to tell them, instead of waiting to meet them in person.
When you FaceTime your friend instead of waiting to see them, that's when you know the gossip is really urgent.

Let's talk about that moment when there is an improvised video call and you are in your pajamas, haven't even combed your hair, and need to be ready in 5 minutes. Who hasn't ever rushed to the bathroom to get ready to look like a decent human being on a Zoom call?
You fix your hair in record time, adjust the lighting in the room, choose the exact angle that hides the messy part of your room, and then you hit join meeting. You go from a zombie to a functioning professional in seconds. The best part is no one on the call will ever know, because you're looking cleeeann.
