2020 will always be remembered for the pandemic. and the clips of the Texas lawyer who couldn t work out how to turn off the kitten filter during a Zoom court debate and felt the need to say I m not a cat , or the New Yorker journalist who was fired after being caught performing a lewd act (on himself) during a Zoom staff meeting thinking his camera was switched off.
In January 2020, there were 659,000 Zoom users in the UK. By April that had risen to 13 million. By the end of the same month, Google Meet was adding three million new users every day. Never in living memory has there been such an upheaval of the way many of us live and work.
