For many of us, one of the real impacts of Covid-19 has been the ‘shrinking’ of our worlds. By removing our ability to travel, to see friends or family and to go out to pubs, restaurants, theatres or sporting events it means more of our lives than ever are spent within the same four walls. However, while our physical space may, literally, be set in stone there are no such limits to our virtual world and the strengthening of our online capabilities has been one of the few bright spots to emerge from the pandemic.

If the ‘real’ world getting smaller is seen as a negative than it has be counterbalanced with the positives of the virtual world also getting ever more closely knit. Geographical boundaries have never been so meaningless and we are now building a truly global community capable of communicating, commissioning and collaborating at the click of a mouse.
