People like to live comfortably. And, while a comfortable life might mean something else for everyone, we can all agree that technology is a big part of it. So imagine for a moment this pandemic happening 25 years ago. Sure, it is not easy now, but how would it be without our smart-TVs, smartphones, FaceTimes, and, let\u2019s be honest, digital nannies, aka YouTube, while the daycares are closed once again?

Business leaders tend to prefer hard facts, and, according to the same study, when the technology becomes well integrated with the culture, some of the business results are:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
