How lockdown benefited adults to adopt technology?
As per a survey, the COVID-19 lockdown prompted many senior citizens to follow and use Zoom, WhatsApp, and FaceTime to keep in touch with their family and friends, prevent depression, and bring positive emotional changes well with their lives. Participants stated lockdown forced them to interact with their peers and other community members for the very first time and that social separation had given their lives new meaning by emphasizing what has been essential to them. Knowing the behavioral processes used by certain people over the age of 60, mainly during a pandemic, would be crucial in designing potential approaches to combat alienation, depression, and health.

LESSONS LEARNED FROM COVID-19
Film making industry involves a huge cast and different stages of production for a single project. It is a tedious process of producing a film but the outcome is what entertains us in theatres. The tedious process includes an initial idea, scriptwriting, casting, shooting of the film, sound recording, pre-production, editing, and screening. What we get to see on the large screen for 2 hours is nearly a year's hard work by the whole cast & crew of the production team.

At Odds With Technology
Before COVID-19 hit, smart tech in the home, as well as the wearable health and fitness variety, was ideal for many people. It kept us on track with our wellbeing, reminded us to move more, reminding us to calm down and even can warn us if we’re about to have a heart attack, which is definitely a benefit, whatever way you slice it.

Christopher Nolan’s ‘Tenet’ will tell you what kind of a film viewer you are
Try and keep up. Tenet is a difficult film. Take the nonlinearity of Memento, the narrative layers of Inception and mix them with the futuristic technology of Interstellar and you’d still be several PhDs away from getting a grip on the complexity of this high-concept thriller. Even the ‘Tenet: Explained’ videos on YouTube seem to leave the most important questions unasked, and as soon as analysis of one plot point begins to cohere, it opens up gaping problems in another.
