At present, a third of the planet is in lockdown, turning social distancing, which was initially a guideline and a request, into a mandatory rule of law.
My sister-in-law, on the west coast of America, has an open-ended Zoom meeting running for the extended family. Anyone can pop into the meeting whenever they can or want to, and if she and my brother are home, have a quick and casual chat – or just hang out while cooking. The time difference is actually perfect for the latter.
At present, a third of the planet is in lockdown, turning social distancing, which was initially a guideline and a request, into a mandatory rule of law. Even before the pandemic started, some concerning social trends were beginning to emerge. Parents of Gen Zs were worried that their teenagers were addicted to their devices and loneliness was becoming a global problem – not only for the elderly but, surprisingly, for Gen Z themselves.
She equates the impact of loneliness on your immune system to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. She says it’s imperative in this time of social distancing to separate the reality of physical isolation from social isolation, especially for the elderly, who would now be vulnerable to both the virus as well as increased loneliness.
Gen Z is obviously proficient at this type of virtual socialising, and is now teaching their parents the nuances and etiquette of communicating in cyberspace. Teenagers have jokingly referred to themselves as “zoomers” for years, but now the name is literal. Zoom has become one of the more popular virtual meeting platforms for millions of people around the world.
