The issue of online equity is extremely important, especially when the communication infrastructure favors urban areas. In the interest of practicality, each WB country office in the region could develop a quick set of graphics that can be used to alert goverments on the implication of distance learning on educational equity and the need for universal access to wifi. This is the sort of public good that the WB should be in charge of.

MANY GREAT THREATS


Living in this technological era we see how social media is detrimental on our mental health and with the use of technology, our brains are starting to shrink in size along with our attention span reducing. Blue light exposure close to bedtime can disrupt the sleep/wake cycle (circadian rhythm), and affect hormone secretion. Aside from the neurological issues, robots may start to take over jobs, making there less workers to work. We are already seeing it in some parts of the world, such as China, where robots are doing human jobs. This is a scary realization.
