To many observers, 2020 can be labeled as the “year the earth stood still.” But while the global population as a whole stayed home, that doesn’t mean we didn’t accomplish anything. Instead of doing business face-to-face, we switched our interactions to the internet.

From both a business or personal perspective, there’s almost nothing we collectively do today that doesn’t include interacting with a mobile app, website, or connected device of some sort. In fact, according to data firm Statista, the global internet population is now on the threshold of five billion people. It’s mindboggling that almost two-thirds of our world’s population has the capability to share all kinds of information with anyone instantly.
