One year ago today, Ohio logged its first cases of the coronavirus, prompting Gov. DeWine to sign a state of emergency that would soon lead to the shutdown of schools and businesses.
Technology would quickly fill the void, enabling students to learn remotely, and workers to turn their homes into offices. In one day last March, there were 600,000 downloads of the Zoom app.
Today on All Sides with Ann Fisher, we continue our weeklong series A Year of COVID with a look at how the pandemic accelerated our reliance on technology for school, work and entertainment.
Guests:
- Natasha Singer, tech reporter, The New York Times
- Will Knight, senior reporter, Wired
- Russell Holly, contributing editor, Android Central
