One particular bit of tech that has kept more people safe than any other bit of tech is mobile technology. The impact of mobile technology on today's COVID-19 pandemic cannot be understated, says Martin Lloyd Sanders.

While mobile tech has grown by leaps and bounds since its early years in the '70s and '80s, the world has never seen its true potential until now. Because of mobile tech, people can easily access countless essential things such as healthcare, current events, and video links, among others, explains Martin Lloyd Sanders.

Over the past eight months, mobile technology has kept billions of people safe, both physically and mentally, by connecting them. Not only did mobile tech keep people from breaking any social distancing rules, but it also kept people in touch with their loved ones.
