How COVID pandemic has impacted Humans on socialization?

The novel coronavirus pandemic has significantly affected our day-to-day life. We are working from home and avoiding social gatherings because of which we have absolutely no face-to-face interactions with our colleagues and friends. Socialization is a very important part of growing up.

But the COVID pandemic has deprived our children of this crucial developmental step. Children have been pulled from their schools and are forced to isolate. And the parents are worried about the effects of social isolation on their kids.

Thanks to the digital age we live in, we have platforms such as Zoom and Skype to interact with other people. These platforms are now an essential part of our lives. They have made sure that we only stay physically isolated. Without them, “work from home” and “remote learning” would have been impossible. While social isolation is the best solution for the pandemic, it is not very healthy in the long term. We must keep in touch with our friends and family whether by phone, text, email, or Zoom.
