ESSAY
For each and every one of us, 2020 has been a year filled with unexpected life-changing events that have
surprised us practically every month. But there is one life-changing event that we are all still going

been quarantined as a result. We can no longer go outside on a whim. Businesses are closing one by one
due to a lack of clients. We were compelled to stay at home, work, and study. What about
communication under these circumstances? How can we communicate if we can't see each other face

ESSAY For each and every one of us, 2020 has been a year filled with unexpected life-changing events that have surprised us practically every month. But there is one life-changing event that we are all still going through right now. Because of the rapid outbreak, Covid-19 has been a big surprise for us, and we've been quarantined as a result. We can no longer go outside on a whim. Businesses are closing one by one due to a lack of clients. We were compelled to stay at home, work, and study. What about communication under these circumstances? How can we communicate if we can't see each other face

to face? That's taken care of by Media Information. We need to connect with our teachers, especially now that school is back in session, in order to learn effectively. We communicate with teachers and classmates using our electronic devices. We utilize phones, tablets, laptops, computers, and other electronic devices. How can we communicate with them solely through our electronic devices? Internet. The internet has been around since before the 21ST^ century. Perhaps the internet was not as useful back then, but when we compare our lives then and now, we cannot imagine living without it. Especially in the midst of this pandemic. For our online classes, we use the internet. Consider how, without the internet, our teachers would be unable to communicate with us, and we would never be able to learn. Zoom, Google Meet, and other video conferencing services During quarantine, software has been a big assistance. Even if we are unable to physically engage with our teachers and classmates, we can still learn with them. This allows us to stay healthy and avoid contracting Covid-19. We cannot live without media. The same also goes for media. Media cannot live without us.
