This year, we all made the transition to living mainly virtual lives. Even if you're not someone who's able to work from home, it's likely that your social life has moved online. From Zoom happy hours with coworkers to virtual dates, we're all getting connected this year, and it's been going on long enough that it's time we step our game up. We're saying goodbye to stacking our laptops on cookbooks or hiding in the corner of our room to get to the best lighting.
