Coronavirus(COVID-19) Pandemic: A Change In Technology Trend By:- Manali Singh @ShavashInternationals, @shavashinternationals Introduction- Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) was first detected in Wuhan, China which is mainly an outbreak of respiratory illness, spread through the droplets of an infected person, an investigation is still going on how this virus originated and spread and what could be the coronavirus vaccine. According to IDC a decline of 2.7% in IT spending is expected. Stephen Minton, program Vice President in IDC’s Customer Insights and Analysis group said that there will be a demand in technology and service but still in 2020 a decline in IT spending will be seen. The production of smartphones seems to be declining by 12 percent year on year this quarter which is recorded as the lowest quarter in five years. Several suppliers of fiber optics in Wuhan is accounted for 25% of global production which directly affected the supply chain across the world. The technology development seems to be affected by the scenario of shutting down offices, stores, and factories. Even the restriction on traveling to the other country gives a huge picture of the impact of coronavirus on technology. Keywords- coronavirus, technology, coronavirus vaccine, technology development, technology transfer, the technology of India. During coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic a change in technology trend is seen which can be a long term impact. Digital payments seem the safest mode of payment More of contactless/digital payments. US, South Korea, China have ordered for cashless payment as cash can carry the virus. Paytm spokesperson said that about a 20% increase in digital payments is witnessed. According to the World Bank, more than 1.7 billion people have no savings account, so access to digital payments is not easy for them.about 30% of the people are looking for cashless payment which was 30% a year ago.

So, more work needs to be done in technology development. According to the study employees working remotely gives 1.4 more days per month than giving time in
office. Researchers found that working from home could be more stressful than doing work at the office, these are the challenges that need to be the focus on. Distance learning technology adaptation for nonstop education- Distance learning is what every school, college, university are following about 1.57 billion students are impacted through the announcement of 191 countries implementing e-learning and this is enabled by technology include virtual reality, augmented reality. Technology transfer is required to create a wider divide for the educational platform, enabling 5G technology. Even before coronavirus, there has been always a huge growth in educational technology with global investment reaching US$18.66 billion and by 2025 ill reach up to US$350 billion.BYJU’S a Bangalore based educational technology has seen a 200% growth in the number of new students. Telehealth: A better health system with a new generation technology- Telehealth is one of the important and effective ways to deal with coronavirus outbreak.it is about connecting patients to doctor through the internet, to track vital signs wearable portable IoT devices are used. U.s. Reps. G.K. Butterfield, D-North Carolina and Glenn Thompson, R-Pennsylvania, introduced a new Legislation for permanent Medicare payments for telehealth services at qualified health centers. Butterfield said in his statement that telehealth is important and a critical necessity in America. Disturbance in supply chain leading to cease in production- Coronavirus has disturbed the supply chain the most of the export from different countries has banned which is leading for no inventory and so no production as factories are shut down for long. In mid- February Fiat Chrysler Automobiles announced a temporary pause of production at a car factory in Serbia because due to coronavirus they are not getting parts from china. Technology transfer here is supply chain 4.0, the main technology in this is the internet of things, BIG Data Analytics, cloud computing, additive manufacturing, robotics, blockchain, artificial intelligence. Proper implementation of these technologies can provide better visibility to the supply chain. During COVID-19 where social distancing is a must among the people there, doctors are every time surrounded by the patients of coronavirus. In Italy, the use of technology in this scenario is that robotics help doctors treat COVID -19 patients. In the future, many manufacturing processes will replace manpower to robots seems a safer means for the COVID-19 pandemic. Tech Mahindra has created a platform to manage the supply chain for fresh produce working with an Indian IT company, SAP. The platform is FEEDS, through which users will be able to transform the fragmented physical supply chain and at every stage, it can track and maintain freshness. Conclusion In the next 20 years, the stock of the robot will increase faster and will reach as many as 20 million by 2030. Most of the technology trends rely on high-speed internet so adaptation of 5G technology is a huge challenge the demand is high and so will grow to the telecommunication industry.Covid-19 has affected the entertainment industry as well. Here technology of online streaming is Spreading, as of now, movies
are releasing on the online platform. Online gaming traffic gains huge traffic during the outbreak. The technology of India is growing and working against the coronavirus issue. CSIR-NAL with BHEL and BEL working on ventilators, Oxygen Enrichment Devices,3d-Printed face shield, face masks, gowns and other protective equipment. Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram, an institute of the national importance of the department of Science and Technology(DST), has developed a diagnostic test kit that can confirm COVID-19 within 2 hours at low cost. We see a new wave in technology transfer and development which would last long. References 1.
