Abstract

During this lockdown period, the internet acts as a blessing, as it connects everyone with the entire world by maintaining social distance and staying at home. With the help of Internet Communication Tools, people easily connect with each other and the rest of the world which encourage smooth operation of both personal and professional activities. Work from home, flexible scheduling of working hours, etc. progress the flow of tasks and responsibilities. Online meetings through video-conferencing, tele-conferencing and online chat etc. pave the way to run offices, institutions and other business concerns. At the same time, the internet helps people to come closer to those who are away from their homes, families, relatives and friends by maintaining social distance with digital closeness. Present paper studies the degree, importance and impacts of consumption of the internet during COVID period.
