The pandemic era was a 4-year period that lasted from early 2020 to mid-2023. The pandemic involved the virus Covid-19, otherwise known as coronavirus, which, at the time, was absolutely contagious especially with no cure. During this era, many people, instead of direct physical contact, decided to enforce new ways of communication without any infection, such as the Six Feet Apart rule, wearing masks, or Zoom meetings, which helped reduce the spread of the virus. By 2023, Coronavirus was practically nonexistent at this point, so no one really cared after. However, the Pandemic Era was what influenced many social medias, especially new ones, such as TikTok, Instagram Reels, or Youtube Shorts. The Pandemic Era was what changed the world to using more technology.
