State examples of how you were able to cope with lockdown using mediated communication.

Answer 1

Using mediated communication, I was able to cope with lockdown easily. Using information communication devices like my phone and laptop and apps such as Zoom and social media, I and many others were able to communicate with loved ones and connect with those we were isolated from seeing in person. Mediated communication was vital to keeping everyone connected during lockdown and during the pandemic, as if you didn't immediately live with someone, it was near impossible to find another safe way to see and talk with them. Humans are social creatures, and this connection was necessary to keep us all from falling into a depression.
