1. El histórico fracaso comercial de Skype frente al dominio de Zoom.
Los usuarios debaten intensamente sobre cómo Skype, a pesar de su reconocimiento de marca, perdió su posición de liderazgo frente a Zoom durante la crisis sanitaria global.
- Skype spent 20 years preparing for virtual meetings, then the pandemic happened, virtual meetings were a necessity, and literally no one used it.
- Im guessing theres a b-school class somewhere right now discussing what happened to skype and why it failed while zoom soared during pandemic.
- It still feels weird to me that people didnt suddenly use skype again during the covid-19 pandemic, instead using zoom or discord.
2. El debate sobre la accesibilidad en conferencias académicas y profesionales.
Existe una tensión creciente entre el deseo de volver a los eventos presenciales y la necesidad de mantener opciones virtuales para garantizar la inclusión y seguridad.
- Disabled academics have been asking for virtual conferences for forever. And it really sucks that a pandemic didnt change that, but unsafe travel and neh cuts are apparently a good enough reason.
- I wish the science world hadnt gone back to in person conference as soon as the pandemic was over. We really dont need to transport hundreds of people to the other side of the planet to have a conversation.
- This is a case of me generally liking them and they seem like an alright person but felt so dismissed by them during covid. Some people dont handle a zoom gig, thats fine.
3. El fenómeno de la fatiga de Zoom y el impacto en la autoimagen.
La exposición constante a la propia imagen en video generó nuevos problemas psicológicos y un aumento en la demanda de procedimientos estéticos.
- Zoom fatigue may be causing a zoom boom, increasing desire for cosmetic procedures todayheadline when the 2020 pandemic sent everyone home to shelter in place, kids began online school and adults telecommuted using videoconferencing.
- Goodbye zoom fatigue a new era begins the phenomenon of zoom fatigue captured widespread attention during the covid-19 pandemic, as millions of employees worldwide pivoted to remote work.
- One of the few things i actually miss during the pandemic was how everything was online and i could just get through a meeting saying my webcam was broken i could go months without having to see my own fucked face.
4. La normalización de la telemedicina y los procesos judiciales remotos.
La pandemia forzó una digitalización en sectores tradicionalmente rígidos, como la salud y la justicia, que muchos usuarios desean preservar.
- Immigration judges and courts need to revert to video meetings as we did during the pandemic. They present and meet with the judge. Paperwork submitted via email.
- Telehealth use remains higher than before the pandemic in 2024, 71.4 of physicians reported their practice used telehealth vs 25.1 in 2018.
- Im super glad that one holdover from the pandemic was that a lot of courts in mn decided to keep at least some hearings as zoom. Much less disruption to my clients lives.
5. Comunidades virtuales y el uso de plataformas sociales alternativas.
Desde grupos de apoyo en iglesias hasta mundos inmersivos en VRchat, la tecnología sirvió como un salvavidas contra el aislamiento social.
- Vrchat literally saved my life during the pandemic. I felt isolated living abroad, losing job opportunities, depressed and unable to afford mental healthcare.
- During the pandemic, my church created companion groups of 5 or 6 folks who would get together on the church zoom portal weekly and just converse, bring some brightness to life.
- I had a marvellous time during the pandemic attending zoom conferences, and now wish that was still an option. Im retired and cant afford to travel.
