In times of crisis, the internet can be a great way to bounce back from minor setbacks to major milestones.
This time of year comes with the added pressure to reel in and bounce back from digital wounds repaired in real-time.
But every time we bounce back with grace, our spirits get lifted.
We all want this holiday season to be a new beginning.
Criticism and debate return once the internet takes over our lives. Once the horror movies and cooking shows come on stream, you can watch the newscasters change their settings to fit the new viewers.
And with that, the internet allows us to connect virtually with former friends and family members at any time of day, virtually.
While we often choose to follow friends and family into the new year, this digital sway reaches its peak in the fall.
This time of year comes with more reasons to explore and discover new content, ways to connect with old ones, and steps to take to become new people.
Because of the pandemic, Netflix also introduces a new segment called “Recreational Enhancement” where celebrity chefs swap recipes with regular viewers.
While Netflix has a digital specialty, their model for this new segment has not yet been finalized.
Currently, the new segment is being developed, and will be available in the coming days.

Mental health and virology are always just a click away.
