COVID-19 is an accelerant for innovation.

Innovation gains market share at an accelerated rate during crises because conditions make for faster, cheaper, and creative ways to solve problems.

You might be experiencing this digitization directly through your business, lifestyle, home or school.

Video streaming has also seen a bump, up 12% during peak usage hours
