Tech lifestyles enable 'safe escape' from coronavirus

For people hunkering down due to the coronavirus epidemic, the tech sector has become their new best friend with an array of lifestyle solutions making "social distancing" easier.

Those wanting to avoid crowds can have meals delivered from restaurants, stream blockbuster films, socialize online with friends, and work remotely.

The latest tech-inspired lifestyle solutions are gaining traction as more people are advised to work from home, and many conferences and gatherings are cancelled.

Anyone with an internet connection can use Amazon or e-commerce rivals to deliver provisions from groceries to toilet paper and over-the-counter medicine.

"We can have anything and everything delivered to our homes including hard and soft goods, doctor visits, laundry services, and even pet services," said Moor Insights and Strategy principal analyst Patrick Moorhead.

"The irony is that many of the items criticized about technology have become a 'safe' place to escape to in the wake of coronavirus." -
"We have also seen how social media has helped getting coverage from areas where press might have not been allowed."
"On paper, now is the time!"
