His daughter, Marion, burst into his office with a hippity-hoppity strut that has since become an internet sensation for confidently entering a room. We all have seen the wonderful viral video of this BBC dad (unless you have been in a cave for 3.5 years): Kelly, an associate professor of political science in South Korea, was speaking live from his home-office (that was wonderfully equipped) when all hell broke loose behind him.

For instance, imagine your spouse walking in the background with a pancake on a spatula asking if you would like to have one more (No, it did not happen to one of us) or even better imagine your kid walking into the room completely naked asking you to help wear his shorts (Neither did this happen to us). Things fallout a little when we are pushed into situations we aren't usually comfortable with. However, partaking in a virtual meet-up is also causing a new type of predicament to take form: the anxiety of what and how we look like on-screen. Platforms like Zoom and Skype have proved their worth as millions can be virtually connected from home.

At this time of social distancing, the only way to be connected to our colleagues and customers is through video conferencing tools. We are seeing enterprises rapidly adopt principles and policies even before most have had the time or opportunity to properly prepare for this quarantine.
