And while it has surpassed all expectations, you can be assured that this is one industry which won’t stop here with something always waiting in the wings.
The Impact of the Pandemic
2020 has been a year which has catalyzed vast adoption of mobile technologies and made us transition from just using technology to living technology quite literally.
