Vladimir Vulić, a consultant in the field of management, innovation and social media, but also one of the founders of digitalizuj.me, spoke to Boje jutra about the influence and importance of the Internet in the period of the coronavirus epidemic.
"In earlier years, when you asked people what they expected from the future, they would say that it would be flying cars, and the current epidemic has taught us that, even if we had invented them, they would not have helped us much now," says Vulić and notes that the internet today allows us to communicate even in these situations.
As he says, all social networks and applications that enable us to communicate have gained popularity in the current circumstances.
"The Tik-Tok application has not only gained importance in terms of entertainment, but also in terms of education," says Vulić and notes that some schools in America have started using this very application to transfer and adapt teaching content.
He notes that the Zoom application, as well as other similar applications for holding online meetings and conferences, experienced expansion during the period of the epidemic and isolation.
"The things that are most often ordered and searched for online vary from country to country, and depending on the presence of payment cards in the country," says Vulić and adds that there has been an increase in the use of online courses and content for maintaining physical activity.
As he points out, work from home should not be organized like that in the office, but use the benefits that such work provides us, and also that all employees in one company should not be online at the same time, in order to reduce the load on the Internet network.
"The dark side of the coin is that technology enables monitoring, eavesdropping and misuse of data," says Vulić and warns that this is the most worrying thing in this situation.
