Standout Tech – A look back on some of the most revolutionary tech and products of 2020

So as we all know, 2020 was a year like no other. Of course, for the most obvious reason (the virus that shall not be named). However, believe it or not, 2020 was the year technology grew into its responsibilities. Rather than just being gimmicky, it began to save the world.

In 2020, technology played its most significant and most pivotal role. It helped people connect, businesses to still trade, and children to continue to receive an education. Technology made some of the most significant changes this year. It was the year of Zoom calls and online shopping as indicated by the chart below.

We use and need technology to do some of the simplest of tasks such as ordering food and it has given us the ability to do important tasks such as work from home. We relied on our Laptops and smart devices to collaborate through apps and connect to cloud services. We also need technology to help keep us entertained with online streaming services, games and those much needed banana bread recipes to upload pictures to our Instagrams. 

Here’s a look at some of 2020’s best stand out tech and products.
