The pandemic that changed it all – also digitally
While COVID seemed to make everything worse, some positive sides appeared, too.
We have all been in some kind of pandemic-changed life for months now. While the strictest lockdowns are being lifted, the next wave might already be coming back. But besides all the bad news which came up in our daily news ticker, there have been also many positive news and quite creative outcomes. So, enjoy some of the greatest positive outcomes during corona-crisis.
Numerous hours of planning, countless night shifts, and a massive amount of coffee chugged down – then, it was finally time!
Breath in once… twice…
Is everything ready?
Yes, all set! Push the button!
AND WE WERE LIVE!
Today, one year ago the Tomorrow Unlocked project went online. We were more than excited to create this new hub for technology culture and building a community of scientists, tech experts, enthusiasts, and artists. Now looking back at a year, which couldn't have gone by quicker, we still have to grasp the achievements we and our community managed to accomplish. By working with incredible people and creating diverse content we published more than 252 content pieces on the Tomorrow Unlocked website and generated more than 500.000 hours watch time on our Youtube Channel.
Let's have a look at our highlights!

Creativity versus Loneliness versus Lockdown
Staying connected to combat loneliness in times of a pandemic
Loneliness is no new issue nowadays. The more we become connected and spend time on social media the more it seems generations become lonelier – which not uncommonly can develop into depression. And with social distancing in place all over the world, a lot of people are afraid that the case may get even worse, as humans are being cut off of their normal social surroundings. But a new study states out that 41 pct. of Europeans actually feel less lonely, or the same way, than before the Covid-19 pandemic. Some experts believe loneliness to be the greater pandemic for humans which may stay long after the corona crisis is over.
One helpful tool in fighting loneliness is technology such as video conferencing tools. In fact, technology made 85 pct. feel less lonely.

Stay Connected

Some people started organizing trivia nights and even dance parties via video conferencing tools. This also gave the opportunity for less outgoing people to take part in social gatherings, which they would not be a part of in their regular life. Resulting in about 60 pct. considering tech as a reason for feeling less lonely during the corona crisis.</p>Creativity as an Escape
<span style="display:block;position:relative;padding-top:56.25%;" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="f5b105c7cd1163d526f1c106bd2eb017"><iframe lazy-loadable="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SPt_kmDtHXA?list=PLCIzhnLJonIYUZ6qmw-J5SWvrX0yrlCEU&rel=0" width="100%" height="auto" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;"></iframe></span><p> But people are not just copying real social contact with Zoom events. While a lot of people spend more time at home and experience boredom which we are no longer used to in times of mobile devices, they also start <a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/04/quarantine-creative-teenagers-genz-coronavirus-covid19-technology/" target="_blank">reigniting their creativity</a>. Social media app <a href="http://tiktok.com/" target="_blank">TikTok</a> is now <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/29/21241788/tiktok-app-download-numbers-update-2-billion-users" target="_blank">one of the most downloaded apps</a> on the app store. Though most of its users are between 14 and 24, now older generations also join in on the fun of easily creating mini videos and sharing them with the world.</p>TWELVE

It gives an amazing sneak peek at how people are coping with the situation, how the lockdown changed their lives and the way they connect with their family and friends. </p>
