As pointed out by Jørgen C. Arentz Rostrup, head of Telenor Asia, some of the habits formed in the over two years of the COVID-19 crisis “are becoming hard-wired in the way we live our lives today.”“Younger generations tend to spend more time socializing online, but Baby Boomers say that mobile technology is helping them feel more connected to their loved ones,” he said.
Telenor Asia pointed out that one of the key reasons for this is socializing online because for a lot of people, this was the only way to stay connected with loved ones when the health crisis brought the world to a standstill.
