Key learning and three points
The first thing I learned about reading this was how much Covid-19 has affected to trends. Everyone knows that it has affected to many things like traveling, economy and also many companies recommend the customers to use credit cards instead of cash. There’s has been good and bad things about the effect of Covid-19 on trends and one good thing is that domestic tourism has become popular.
Second thing is that you need to be very careful because of hackers and scammers, even though security has become better, many hackers still find a way to steal your password and personal information. So ensure all your channels, email and social media are secured and verified. Many people know this but still it’s a good reminder because hackers and scammers has become more skillful and with social media, scamming has become more easier. In example many people use the same password in everywhere which is big mistake. (Hubspot, 2021).
Third thing is that streaming services has become more popular, in example Netflix. I know that Netflix has always been popular but because of covid-19, people are spending more times at home and that’s a one reason why different streaming services has become more popular.
