COVID-19 shutdown and the exponential growth of competition all around the world has made it compulsory for people to adopt different types of roles and forced Companies to continue their operations to prevent any incoming crises that they might suffer. Many job interviews are also carried out online and have helped people to get themselves ready for a job scenario. Although Virtual learning and online education holds a lot of benefits, it majorly depends upon a student to student.
Some students have different approach of learning, therefore every student must know and be aware of their circumstances and scenario and be able to determine their aims and objectives. Even though this substitute to physical education is not meant for every student, it still is a very reliable and suitable alternative since it has a lot of features that can be accessed virtually by students all around the globe and by the help of technology then this experience can be enhanced even more.

Introduction
The influence of COVID-19 has been very catastrophic. It has caused a very disastrous effect on almost everything, starting from education to homes and hospitals to global businesses and etc. everything has been greatly impacted and one dysfunctional (Muñoz-Najar et al., 2021). Education in almost 150 countries have been disturbed putting a negative effect on 1.6 billion students worldwide (Muñoz-Najar et al., 2021). In order to control this Government imposed multiple lockdowns to prevent the spread of Corona virus and help students learn without any hindrance (Muñoz-Najar et al., 2021). In the early days, few days after the arrival of COVID-19, the education sector started the implementation of online and remote learning (Muñoz-Najar et al., 2021). Organizations and Companies started using work-from-home or remote work method as an alternative of the on-site job in order to prevent the company from stopping their operations and overcome any future potential crises they might have faced amidst COVID-19 (Muñoz-Najar et al., 2021). This provided benefits to the Organization and its employees and allowed them to accomplish goals and productivity that the Company used to achieve before COVID-19, by the help of these technologies (Muñoz-Najar et al., 2021).
Impact Of COVID-19 On the Use of Technology
Since everything became obvious while existing in this reality of global pandemic, people started to depend upon technology even more (Trajectorypartnership.com, 2021). The past ten years have experienced the rise and evolution in the huge number of digital technologies and devices which helped in solving the issues faced during COVID-19 pandemic (Ting, Carin, Dzau and Wong, 2020). During the initial period when the COVID-19 pandemic arrived a lot of questions were arisen by the people about how long will the lockdown and social distancing last, how long will we have to follow SOPs and what possibly will we have to do so that we can come back to our normal, COVID free routine (Trajectorypartnership.com, 2021). Therefore, only possible response to this to focus on the development of technology and rely on it during the COVID-19 pandemic for the survival (Trajectorypartnership.com, 2021). This helped many scientists and developers to design and produce many different beneficial technologies and applications that came in handy during the pandemic (Trajectorypartnership.com, 2021). Technologies such as automatic on-the-go sterilization boxes helped in health care and made sure the items people touch were cleaned and COVID free, for example if a person had his car keys exposed in the open air, he would use the sterilization box in order to sterilize his keys in case if his car keys came in contact with someone or some place that was COVID infected. Bluetooth powered contact tracing application was one of the major steps that helped people in getting out of the permanent lockdown, by the help of this application people keep track of others health and COVID conditions (whether it is positive or negative) and traced the people who had COVID and who did not (Trajectorypartnership.com, 2021). This helped them to distinguish between both of them and put partial and individual lockdowns that is allowed people without COVID to get out of their Quarantine phase and restricted people who had COVID from getting out of their Quarantine phase until the vaccine for it arrives.
