Whether it's a dance class, a work meeting or a doctor's appointment, technology has allowed many of us to do more from home during lockdown, but is this "digital connectedness" here to stay?
As office spaces started to open up and people began socialising earlier this summer, Ruby Jones thought about the elements of her life that had improved when the world slowed down.
The disability activist, who works for the University of Exeter's Student Union, lives with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The connective tissue disorder sometimes requires Ruby to use a wheelchair or crutches, and can also cause fatigue. But she found that elements of lockdown benefited her lifestyle and helped her to manage her condition. Wondering if other people had also spotted silver linings in the months stuck at home, Ruby created the hashtag #MyAccessiblePandemic on Twitter. She tweeted: "I'm starting a hashtag to highlight how the pandemic has improved accessibility for disabled people. I'll start: Working from home means I am able to work a full-time job without exhausting myself to the point of hospitalisation."
