Abstract: Abstract In 2020, with the dawn of a new decade ahead of us—the 2020s—many of us looked back at the end of 2019 and the start of 2020 as a turning point; an opportunity for a fresh start. At that point in time, we had no idea of the dramatic social, educational, and occupational changes that this year would have in store for us all. While the new decade has not yet been the vibrant beacon of social and technological advancement that we may have hoped for, our global entry into 2020 has undoubtedly been a rollercoaster. From widespread mandatory isolation, necessarily remote workspaces and increased civilian interaction with public health authorities, to the necessarily rapid introduction of digital communication technologies to populations who had previously been able to avoid developing a dependence on digital technology as a primary form of social interaction. All of these factors, and more, have contributed to the massive inundation of public reliance on digital communication technology and its corresponding infrastructure around the globe.
