SOCIAL MEDIA

Social media is a great technology that helps citizens to remain connected. I must say, it is playing a huge role in keeping extroverts like me sane.

6. Robots

Rwanda and China are just some of the countries, using robots in the fight against COVID-19. This helps in reducing the contact between the doctors, nurses, and patients. It is helping in minimizing the risk of infection with the deadly virus.
