With some help from innovative apps and tech features, individuals around the world have been able to connect with each other, get entertained, learn new skills and work smarter this year.
We can’t imagine what 2020 would have looked like without these apps and features. Here are seven of them:
Slack

While remote work was listed as one of the top trends to look out for in 2020, many employers and employees were not fully prepared to adjust to it.
However, as a result of the enforced lockdowns and social distancing guidelines, many organisations had to adapt and adjust to remote work. Luckily, apps like Slack made it easy to manage staff and communicate with colleagues easily.
Tik Tok
Tik Tok took the world by storm in 2020, providing anyone with a cool platform to get creative by making short videos and uploading them.
Tik-Tok has become a significant source of entertainment and information. It has been used to tell stories, educate people, share tips, make mini-movies and more. It has even become a cash-making opportunity for influencers such as Charlie D’Amelio.

Netflix
With cinemas shutting down across different parts of the world, Netflix became a major source of entertainment for most of us last year, as we turned to the streaming platform to binge films, sitcoms, drama series and reality shows in its robust catalogue.
YouTube
YouTube has proven to be the biggest source of video content in the world. Last year, many individuals were able to learn skills such as cooking, drumming, make-up, video editing and more, all thanks to the platform. An impressive number of people even became YouTbe creators this week, opening their own channels to create content for their respective target audiences.

While the COVID-19 lockdowns restricted movements, they also enabled individuals to upskill and grow professionally from the comfort of their homes.
Many took to learning platforms such as Coursera to learn skills such as graphic design, U/UX design, software development, digital marketing and more. Here’s to everyone who learned a new skill and got a certificate this year. If you didn’t, it’s not too late 🙂

Without a doubt, Twitter is the best app for keeping up with trends and engaging in fun and insightful conversations. The app has also proven to be a great way to foster creativity, engage in fun challenges, communication and even organize protests. What an app, right?
While there have been complaints about the over-commercialisation and algorithm modifications on Instagram, we can agree that the platform was a major source of entertainment last year, with brands teaming up with DJs for virtual parties and music legends going head to head for VERZUZ battles.
