If you were to think back to December 2019, how many of us would have imagined a toilet paper shortage in just a couple of months? 2020 has managed to change how we think about everything from toilet paper to essential workers. We've realized that more jobs can be done remotely and that everything from tonight's dinner to the dining room table can be bought online.
We can buy groceries online and have them delivered or just pull up to the store and have them loaded into our vehicle.
We have had fewer personal interactions because of church on Facebook Live or other streaming services and even us retired folks have used Zoom or Webex Meet for online meetings or small group chats. Virtual family holiday gatherings is a reality this year as fewer people are traveling or willing to expose vulnerable family members to the coronavirus.
While many people still enjoy their favorite sports teams, professional sports have certainly had to make some changes to continue to make money. I think that professional athletes have lost some of their celebrity shine as we realize they are not nearly as necessary to life as the healthcare worker or grocery store worker.
How has 2020 reshaped your opinions of others or changed your shopping habits and activities?
I only watched a couple of baseball games in 2020. I do watch MMA events on a pretty regular basis, but sometimes wonder why.
How have your 2020 holiday plans changed?
Are there 2020 practices that you will carry forward in a post pandemic world?
Where will you go when traveling becomes safe from coronavirus spread and other countries are more open to tourism again?
Who are you waiting to visit? Waiting to hug?
Has 2020 changed who you are? How?
Just wondering...

I'd never heard of Webex which got me wondering how many more were out there. I googled online meeting apps and got a link to the best 10 of them.
