What We Searched & What We Watched in 2020

Today is January 1st, 2021 … perhaps the most anticipated day in our collective history. To say that we are happy to see 2020 end would be the understatement of most of our lifetimes. It was a rough year, by all accounts. For some, much rougher than for others so as I have written and said many times, “I’m not complaining.”

I have spent a few days off from work for the holidays, reflecting back on the year. How we changed and how we coped. What we searched and longed for … Clarity. Direction. Guidance. Hope. Answers. Help. Laughter. Escape.

There are two videos put out by the biggest “tech” brands on the planet, and I thought I’d share them with you to both reflect and move forward.

First one is from Google. Tech that provides access. Information when we needed it most. The Google Year End Video captures the fear, anxiety, consciousness, and drive that brought us through the year … our search for information. The Google 2020 the Year in Search …

The other video is from Netflix. Tech that provides entertainment. Escapism when we needed it most. Netflix is a brand that came into its own this year as its benefit proved beyond belief. I for one had rarely watched a Netflix piece, yet in 2020 it became an all important staple in our home. Escapism on an almost daily basis. The Netflix 2020 Entertainment Year in Review ….

Now it is time to move on. Move forward. Move ahead.

Happy New Year! What’s your experience? JIM
