Before the invasion of coronavirus, technological transformation mostly revolved around fancy stuffs like curved televisions, smartphones and smart speakers. But with the new reality brought by Covid-19, technology that was overlooked for long came into focus.
The pandemic has seen the increased use of mobile wallet apps such as Square and Apple Pay as most people embraced contact-free mobile transactions. Credit cards and cash payments significantly reduced in 2020.

The technology will be incorporated in smartphones and laptops, and uses a sensor that detects a person’s phone and accepts payment from the user.
4. Work technology: During the pandemic most companies virtualized their operations. Video meetings have been largely embraced as most companies used them to operationalize their works. Video chat apps such as Google Meet, Zoom and Cisco Webex became important work tools.
