Enter ZoomApril 02, 2020
We live in an unprecedented time where we are being asked to practice “social distancing” which has been upgraded to a full-fledged state of social separation. We’re used to being able to pick up and go, you know... meet a friend for coffee, go shopping at 336 Marketplace and roam about as we please. When someone says to stay put… it makes me want to do the opposite (but don’t worry, this rule follower wouldn’t dare and I hope you are with me on that). What if there was a way you could “get out” so to speak, yet still abide by the stay-in-place order that Montgomery County and several other counties are currently under? Enter Zoom. Zoom is an internet based platform that gives social people the capability to hop on a video conferencing call that allows us to see and be seen. How cool is that? This is where I just want to give technology a giant hug. Zoom is fantastic as you can have a one-on-one conversation or you can meet with several people at one time. Businesses have been using it and are relying on it like never before. Clubs, small groups and churches that once met weekly are now “zooming” weekly. For instance, the Woodlands Toastmasters Club has been meeting via Zoom for the past few weeks and will continue to do so until we can again meet in person. Think about that, where there is a will, there is a (safe) way. Some of the features I love about Zoom:
When you think of Zoom, think of meeting or connecting. Zoom allows us to meet together online by having face-to-face conversations. Now more than ever, this is the time to come together. I want to encourage you to give Zoom a try if you’ve never used it. Happy zooming and connecting. |
