POSITIVE INCREASES DURING THE PANDEMIC

1. Good afternoon teacher and classmates, today I am going to talk about the positive
increases during the pandemic, we all know the negative so I’m going to let you know
some of the good aspects.
2. The increase in online business since 2020 has increased significantly. Thousands of
people started their businesses totally online selling clothes, desserts, make-up, sporting
equipment, etc. All online, without the need to leave their homes and expose
themselves to contagion.
3. In the last 3 years, there has been a very noticeable increase in online shopping.
In 2020, according to studies, there were approximately 12 million online shoppers and
in 2021 there was a significant increase of approximately 14 million shoppers. the
increase in online purchases favored both sellers and buyers. On the buyers' side, they
were very satisfied as they could shop from the comfort of their homes without having
to wait in long quius.
4. Delivery service during the pandemic has increased by up to 200% to date. Both
companies and independents are requesting at least 40 drivers for delivery services per
month. The salary received by the delivery drivers varies from 500 to 3000 soles per
month. Some of the districts with the highest delivery are: San Isidro, San Borja,
Surquillo, San Miguel, La Molina, Los Olivos, Callao, Independencia and Cercado de Lima.
5. The increase in the use of digital educational platforms such as google meet, zoom,
blackboard, classcolaborate, among others, comes as a surprise to no one. The use of
digital platforms was and continues to be a success for remote and distance education.
Every educational institution, whether schools, universities or institutes, have adopted
at least one of these platforms to provide more study facilities to their students.
6. The obvious increase in the use of social networks or social digital platforms brought
new job opportunities for people. Now there are people who create digital content and
work doing publicity for brands, called "influencers". Social networks such as Instagram
and Facebook, during the pandemic and until now are widely used to promote products,
share information and above all as one of the main means of buying and selling on the
Internet.
7. During 2020, the excessive increase in the use of streaming platforms was surprising.
When we talk about streaming platforms we immediately think of netflix, amazon,
disney plus, hbo max, among others. But according to studies the first three months of
2020, netflix doubled the number of its subscribers gaining more than 15 million
subscriptions, disney gained approximately 22 million subscriptions. This is definitely
surprising, it is said that more and more other streaming platforms will continue to
appear, the question is... will they surpass Netflix?
