KARACHI:
When the pandemic hit and all outdoor activities were suspended four-year-old Areesh Fatima s parents did not know how best to occupy her time. Their other two children were older and could adapt to the online mode of teaching more easily. But Areesh had hardly spent enough time in physical classes for her to easily switch to online ones.
Her mother, clinical psychologist Saba Farooq, thought it best for Areesh to learn new skills and her father, Osama Habib, who is a software engineer himself, immediately turned to technological skills.
The internet and computers were already ruling our lives before the pandemic and after the coronavirus the significance of the virtual world has only grown.
