2021-06-02T15:19:52+07:00 PHONE COMPANIES AND ENTERTAINMENT DON’T MIX LAST MONTH, AT&T THREW IN THE TOWEL ON ITS ADVENTURES IN THE MEDIA BUSINESS WHEN IT DECIDED TO SPIN OUT WARNERMEDIA. CENTER DIRECTOR JEFFREY COLE EXPLAINS HOW THE TELCO GOT TO THIS POINT, AND WHY GETTING OUT IS A GOOD THING.By Jeffrey Cole
Phone
companies should stay out of the media business! Everybody would be better off. No good comes of it. Egos are wounded, shareholder value is lost, great companies are weakened, and it does nothing for consumers. While we are at it, soft drink bottlers, liquor distillers, waste management companies, electronics manufacturers, and most other companies ought to avoid the media business as well. The simple rule is that everyone except those with vast experience running media companies should stay out of the entertainment industry. And we have several case studies that prove this point. Certainly, AT&T should have known that entertainment (ego and glamour aside) was not a business for them. By the time they spent $85 billion (40% of its market cap) to buy Time Warner in 2016, AT&T already had a disastrous track record in media and entertainment. How much evidence did the huge phone company need to stay out of the media business?(more )

CENTER RELEASES 17TH STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY INAMERICA
_ February
19_ — The Center for the Digital Future has released the 2021 Digital Future Project, the longest-running study of Americans and their behavior and views about computers and mobile technology, internet use and trust, and the effects of social media. The report continues the Center’s work as one of the first research studies to explore the impact of digital technology on internet users in the United States. The Center was the first to develop a longitudinal panel study of these issues, beginning in 2000. For more on the 2021 Digital Future Project and to download thereport, click here

THE POST-COVID PARADOX IT WAS HARD TO LEARN HOW TO BEHAVE DURING A PANDEMIC. NOW THAT THE CDC’S MASK MANDATES ARE COMING TO AN END, WE HAVE A NEW CHALLENGE: UNLEARNING. CENTER DIRECTOR JEFFREY COLE EXPLAINS.This week,
in the most positive sign yet (after vaccines) that we can see the light at the end of the COVID tunnel, the CDC lifted almost all outdoor and indoor mask mandates for those who have been vaccinated. Since March of 2020, the CDC (and the rest of us) have had to deal with those who didn’t believe the Coronavirus was real, those who would not wear a mask, and most recently and dangerous for all, those who will not get a vaccine. To get people vaccinated, Shake Shack is offering free hamburgers and fries, West Virginia a $100 savings bond, and Ohio a weekly lottery with a grand prize of $1 million. Getting people to re-consider deeply held beliefs and change behavior is a difficult business. Bribes may not be enough. Now, as we make enormous progress in moving past COVID, we will face an entirely new and equally challenging problem: how to convince vaccinated people when it’s time to take off their masks. It’s easy to categorize all the deniers into a group that does not listen to the science. It’s harder to classify those who have been carefully following the experts’ advice and now are reluctant to move past masks, staying at home, and general fear. To be sure, we still have a way to go before the virus is completely contained. But we can already see signs that — even with vaccines, rapidly diminishing new cases, and even more drastic reductions in hospitalizations and deaths, as well as new guidance from scientists — there will be equally stubborn holdouts who refuse to change their behaviors to match the changing facts.

AS THE U.S. PIVOTS INTO POST-COVID RE-ENTRY, A GROUP OF INDUSTRIES MAY SPRING BACK WHILE OTHERS MAY DWINDLE TOWARDS INSIGNIFICANCE. CENTER DIRECTOR JEFFREY COLE EXPLORES WHO IS LIKELY TO WIN AND LOSE.To almost
everyone’s surprise, the Warner Bros. film _Godzilla vs. Kong_ led the re-opening of America’s movies theaters after COVID, and earned close to $100 million in its first month at the domestic box office. International grosses are closing in on $500 million. While in any year these would be respectable numbers (even though it cost $160 million to make), when you factor in that some movie theaters are still closed and that most of those that are open are operating at limited capacity, a strong case can be made that movie theaters are on their way to returning to their historic place inAmerican’s lives.
Far more impressive is the fact that Godzilla vs. Kong is available at home for HBO Max subscribers with no additional fee. At the end of last year, Warner was sitting on over $1 billion invested in finished films and afraid there would be no place to put them for over a year, or possibly ever. It also wanted to give a boost to the lackluster launch of HBO Max. It then made the controversial call to put all their 2021 films (Wonder Woman 1984, Godzilla, The Matrix 4, and more) onto its new streaming service. As vaccines made fans more comfortable, Warner still hoped to release films in theaters, but even if that never happened, HBO Max would be sure to attract millions of new subscribers. The Warner Bros. experiment with HBO Max running films “Day and Date” (in theaters and streaming at the same time) is but one of many throughout the entertainment industry (and beyond) to see how behaviors and spending may be radically altered as we all emerge fromCOVID.

THE MOST POWERFUL COMPANY IN THE WORLD? HOW BIG CAN AMAZON GET? THE COUNTRY’S BIGGEST ONLINE RETAILER IS ALSO THE MASTER OF LOGISTICS, A STREAMING COMPANY, AND HAS A SERIES OF GROCERY CHAINS… SO WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE HOUSE THAT BEZOS BUILT? CENTER DIRECTOR JEFFREY COLE EXPLORES THE OPTIONS.When I was a kid,
I didn’t know anything about monopolies (except the board game), anti-trust laws, barriers to entry, or restraint of trade. Why, I wondered, didn’t a successful, well-run company (GM in the 50s, IBM in the 60s, AT&T in the 70s) take all that management experience and branch out into other related and unrelated businesses: a Swiss Army-knife of companies? GM could run an airline; IBM could manage department stores, and AT&T could make television sets. They could have gone on to run dozens of disparate businesses. Only later did I learn about laws preventing any one company from completely controlling an industry, making it impossible for others to enter the field and compete. Consumers needed to be protected from such large companies that could, without fear, raise prices as much and often as they liked. (more)
BUSINESS TRAVEL WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. AFTER A YEAR OF ZOOMING INSTEAD OF TRAVELING, BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS VIRTUALLY INSTEAD OF FACE-TO-FACE, AND TESTING THE BUSINESS IMPACT OF NOT GOING TO EVENTS LIKE CES, WILL BUSINESS TRAVEL REBOUND AS WE EMERGE FROM COVID? PROBABLY NOT, ARGUES CENTER DIRECTOR JEFFREY COLE.It’s almost
the end of the first quarter of 2021. In any other year, I would be taking a short rest after speaking at a number of media or technology conferences. The new year usually began with CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas, followed by NATPE (National Association of Television Program Executives) in Miami, and then the IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau’s) ALM (Annual Leadership Meeting) in either Palm Desert or outside Phoenix. About now, I would be planning another five or six events over the second quarter, including the Cannes Lions Festival in June. No complaining about jet lag or being away; it was a good life. Over the last 13 months, of course, none of those events took place anywhere except on the Internet. A lot of money was saved on airfare, hotels and Uber (and earned no frequent flyer or hotel points). What was not so good for the economy was very good for my mental and physical well-being by not disappearing for a week or two at a time from family, friends and work colleagues. (more)

THEN THERE WAS ONE: WITH PARAMOUNT’S ENTRY INTO STREAMING, ONLY ONE STUDIO IS SITTING ON THE SIDELINES. THE PANDEMIC SEPARATED THE MAJOR STREAMING PLAYERS FROM THE MINOR ONES. AS MOVIE THEATERS MAY RETURN WITH LESS HOLD ON VIEWERS, THE GROUND HAS SHIFTED. THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS SHOULD DETERMINE THE NEXT GENERATION OF ENTERTAINMENT. CENTER DIRECTOR JEFFREY COLE EXPLAINS.And then
there was one!
With the March 4th launch of Paramount+, Viacom’s entrant into the streaming wars, there is only one studio, Sony, left without its ownstreaming channel.
Two years ago, there were six studios (before Fox disappeared into Disney). Only one of them, Warner Bros., had placed a bet onstreaming.
Netflix, with an assist from Hulu, owned the streaming field. Warner Bros. had access to HBO as a sister company (now unified into the WarnerMedia brand along with Turner Broadcasting). HBO was barely a streamer in 2019 (the year after AT&T acquired Time Warner). It was a legendary pay TV service available on cable. Although founded in 1975, HBO didn’t even consider getting into streaming until only a few years ago with HBO Go and HBO Now. (more)

TWITTER SHUTTING DOWN TRUMP AND SMARTMATIC SUING FOX NEWS: IT’S ABOUT TIME OR A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT? Decision-making about issues involving freedom of speech, says Center director Jeffrey Cole, requires knowing where to draw the line.I don’t like
anyone messing with the First Amendment. The United States was the first country and still one of the few to spell out in our constitution explicit rights to freedom of speech, the press, religion, peaceful assembly and the ability to petition the government for redress of grievances. If America has ever been (or is now) exceptional, it derives directly from the first 10 amendments to the Constitution: the Bill of Rights. When we fight to preserve and protect the Constitution, this is what we fight for. There are two concepts around freedom of expression that have always stayed with me: the importance of the _marketplace of ideas_ and the danger of creating a _chilling effect_. The _marketplace of ideas_ comes from John Stuart Mill in his 1859 work _On Liberty_. Mill argues that just as an economic market creates competition that determines winners and losers, the marketplace of ideas relies on competition among different philosophies and theories to create the best possible ideas. Only a marketplace without censorship can allow the best ideas to come forth and win. Over the years the courts have ruled that while the First Amendment should be placed in a preferred position, there is some speech that is so dangerous (incitement such as yelling fire in a crowded theater, libel, child pornography) that it can be restricted. The goal is to avoid a_ chilling effect_; as a result of a regulation or lawsuits, citizens would hesitate to exercise their legitimate rights, and speech would be self-censored out of fear. (more)

THAT DIDN’T LAST LONG: FOX NEWS IS BACK — TO ITS OLD WAYS. THE RIGHT-WING NEWS CHANNEL’S FLIRTATION WITH HONEST REPORTING WAS SHORT-LIVED AFTER RATINGS AND PROFITS DECLINED. CENTER DIRECTOR JEFFREY COLE EXPLAINS._ That_
didn’t last long!
Starting on Election Day and for the next several weeks after, Fox News began to put some distance between itself and Donald Trump. The marriage that had served both parties so well for years finally unraveled and then broke. That all was not well in the relationship had been clear for months. It was a marriage of great convenience. Trump found Fox News to be a readily available and sympathetic channel for his ideas dating back to the unfounded birther theories, through the racist origins of his campaign, and then through the chaos of his four years in office. With a push of his speed-dial, Trump could get on Fox News within seconds and spin his version of events with himself as the hero taking on leftists, fake news, or the villain of the day (Meryl Streep, Taylor Swift, low-flow showers). Some days he hogged a show for a full hour. Careful viewers could detect the hosts on _Fox & Friends_ looking awkwardly at each other, wondering when he would finally hang up the phone. (more)

THE ROARING 2020S
_IN THESE DARK FIRST WEEKS OF 2021, THE CYCLES OF HISTORY MAKE A CASE FOR OPTIMISM. CENTER DIRECTOR JEFFREY COLE EXPLORES WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM THE 1920S AND THE 1820S._Between the
catastrophic storming of the U.S. Capitol and record levels of infection, hospitalization, and death from the coronavirus, 2021 is off to a bad start. Fortunately, with the ramping up of vaccinations and the inauguration of a new President, hopeful resolution of both crises is within sight.Then what?
The year-old decade of the 2020s is just the third 20s decade in American history. There may well be some important parallels from 100 years ago in the 1920s. If we are lucky and all our stars align, there may also be some parallels from the 1820s. (more)

The summit explored how well-attended theatrical releases — long a key part of the strategy for building film franchise value — have been limited by the COVID-19 pandemic. What does the current state of theatricals in the pandemic mean for franchises and movie audiences? How does the pandemic change the economic model for the film and television industries? Will those changes be permanent? (more)
A WARM WELCOME BACK: MEDIA GATEKEEPERS _IN A POST-ELECTION WORLD, CENTER DIRECTOR JEFFREY COLE SEES REASONS FOR HOPE THAT TRUTH MAY BECOME DEPOLITICIZED._The year
2020 cannot end soon enough. Putting divisive politics, devastating economic recession, continuing social injustice, and the Coronavirus pandemic in our rear-view mirrors brings hope for a better 2021 andbeyond.
It has been a terrible year — one that will join 1918 and 1968 in the unhappy history books. But out of all the chaos and anxiety of the past decade, culminating in 2020, may emerge a hopeful development: the return of the professional media gatekeeper as citizens try to separate truth from disinformation. A lot of money has been made and political ground gained by catering to what former Presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway memorably dubbed “alternative facts.” Now, finally, there are some glimmers of hope that this may be starting to change.

BUT AS BARR CENTER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ANGELA JERABEK DESCRIBES, WE’VE LEARNED MUCH DURING THE PANDEMIC ABOUT HOW TEACHERSCAN SUCCEED. _
_Jerabek is the founder and executive director of BARR (Building Assets, Reducing Risks)._There was
no shortage of stories about the tenuous state of schooling in this country as school districts began to reopen this fall. Now that students are back in class — either in class or online — we continue to hear about the challenges of making sure that each and every student’s needs are met when they are physically dispersed. Every district is tackling important decisions to ensure they are implementing the right plan for their community at any given point in time. Although students are back to school, there are many strategies requiring continuous roll-out to make sure students have what they need for a successful school year. The hurdles of this past spring linger into the fall. School leaders are constantly reassessing models that work best for their district, knowing that swift changes may need to occur to contain the spread of the coronavirus in communities. Despite smoother transitions to online teaching, educators are still feeling upside down. The summer and first few weeks of school have provided teachers time to reflect on that experience and focus on how they can keep making improvements.(more )
KUDOS TO FOX NEWS
FORGET THE PARTISAN DIATRIBES OF COMMENTATORS LIKE SEAN HANNITY AND LAURA INGRAHAM. IN THE HOURS AFTER ELECTION NIGHT, THE _JOURNALISTS_ AT FOX NEWS DID WHAT WAS NEEDED. CENTER DIRECTOR JEFFREY COLEEXPLAINS.
I cannot believe I am saying this, but _kudos_ to Fox News for its role as a responsible news organization during the 2020 election of Joe Biden as President of the United States. Credit where credit is due: Fox’s reporting was fair (It’s a very different story with its on-air commentators). Fox understood its role as the only major source of information its loyal audience trusted, and that its reporting in the moments and days after the election could inflame or contain its base’s worst impulses. While no one has the right to such power, Fox News had the choice to stand as an impediment to democracy or as a facilitator for the peaceful transition of power. For choosing the latter, Fox deserves our thanks. Many of my friends and colleagues in the media and at the USC Annenberg School would surely argue that Fox News does _not_ deserve any credit—and especially thanks—for merely doing what all the other professional news outlets do by reflex. Those other news organizations’ reporters and anchors do not require special instructions on how to cover stories that might disappoint or infuriate its viewers. While all the above is true, any other behavior could have been dangerous to property and lives as well as our faith in democracy and the future. (more ) CENTER STUDY FINDS HUGE GAPS IN VIEWS BASED ON POLITICAL BELIEFS ON ALTERNATIVES TO TRADITIONAL VOTING; HALF WANT CHANGES IN POLITICALCONVENTIONS
_August 12_ — A majority of Americans say national elections need to change because of the COVID-19 pandemic, including broad support for voting by mail and online political conventions, reports a new study by the USC Center for the Digital Future. The study also found major differences in views among liberals and conservatives about the American political process. The findings on proposed changes in the political process were produced in the second study in the Center’s comprehensive project on the social impact of the coronavirus, conducted during the fourthweek of June.
AMERICANS WANT CHANGES IN VOTING METHODS AND POLITICAL CONVENTIONS The study found 16% of Americans say conventions should be held “as usual.” A majority of Americans believe the national political conventions should change: 51 percent say the conventions should either be held completely online (44%) or not at all (7%). Statistically identical percentages of Americans support voting by mail (65%) and traditional polling places (64%). Forty-four percentwant voting online.
“Americans overall make no distinction between voting in person in a polling booth or voting by mail,” said Jeffrey I. Cole, director of the USC Center for the Digital Future. “But based on political affiliation, we found dramatic differences in views about who should vote, and where they should vote.” (more)
CENTER STUDY FINDS CNN AND ANDERSON COOPER LEAD AS AMERICA’S PRIMARY CABLE NEWS SOURCES ABOUT COVID-19; POLITICAL STANCE POLARIZES VIEWSABOUT CABLE MEDIA
_ October 8_ — More Americans rely on CNN as their primary information source about COVID-19 than other cable outlets, and Anderson Cooper is trusted by more Americans than other cable commentators, a study by the USC Center for the Digital Future (CDF) has found. The CDF study also reports extreme differences in views about cable news channels and commentators based on political viewpoint of therespondents.
CNN’S POPULARITY DECLINES, BUT STILL LEADS AS CABLE NEWS SOURCE The CDF study, conducted twice since the pandemic began (April and June), found CNN continues to be the primary source for pandemic news for the largest percentage of Americans – 40% in the June study, down from 49% in April. Fox news held steady with 33% reporting the network as the primary source about the pandemic, the same as in April. The popularity of MSNBC grew in the June study – now 24% of Americans, up from 14% in April. (more)

September
24, 2020_ — After more than six months of living in a pandemic, large percentages of Americans continue to indulge in unhealthy lifestyle habits, including overeating, and increased use of alcohol and marijuana – all while many are exercising less, according to a study of the cultural impact of COVID-19 conducted by the USC Center for the Digital Future (CDF).

CENTER STUDY FINDS MANY AMERICANS STILL IGNORE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR COVID-19, ONE-FIFTH WILL REFUSE A VACCINE _ September 16, 2020_ — Six months into the most severe global pandemic in more than a century, are Americans complying with basic precautions to avoid infection and spread of the coronavirus? And will they be vaccinated when a proven treatment for COVID-19 is released? For many Americans, the answers are no. A study of the social impact of COVID-19 by the Center for the Digital Future found that while large numbers of Americans do indeed use recommended precautions against infection and spread of the disease, alarmingly high percentages do not participate in these safety programs, and one-fifth will refuse to receive a vaccine. DO YOU WEAR A MASK AND PARTICIPATE IN SOCIAL DISTANCING? The Center’s study found many people – but not everyone – take precautions to avoid infection with the coronavirus. Eighty-three percent of Americans said they participate in social distancing. However, only 77% say they wear a mask. (more)
ONLINE COLLEGE INSTRUCTION HAS IMPROVED SINCE THE PANDEMIC BEGAN, SAY COLLEGE STUDENTS, BUT INSTRUCTION ON THE INTERNET SHOULD COST LESS, REPORTS CENTER STUDY _September 9, 2020 — _A growing number of college students like their online instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic, but many want reduced tuition if their education is online and not in person, reported the second study on the social and cultural impact of the coronavirus conducted by the USC Center for the Digital Future. The Center’s study found an increase in college students who reported satisfaction with their instruction on the internet: 43% of college students say they enjoy remote learning better than in-class instruction — up from 34% in the Center’s first study in April. While a majority of college students in the current study (52%) say they prefer in-person classroom learning, that number was down from 63% in April. Fewer students say their teachers are good at adapting their courses for online instruction — now 46%, down from 51% in April. A slightly smaller percentage say they learn less online than in person – 52% in the current study, down marginally from 54% in April. How do students feel about the online learning environment? A majority of college students in the current study (54%) say they have to work harder when learning online, down slightly from 56% in April. Although a large percentage of college students say their online instruction makes them feel more isolated from their learning community (55%), that number was down from 61% reported in April. (more)
ANXIETY AND LONELINESS DECLINE SINCE THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC BEGAN, BUT MORE THAN ONE-THIRD OF AMERICANS REPORT INCREASED DEPRESSION, CENTERSTUDY FINDS
_
September
2, 2020_ — Increased levels of loneliness and anxiety reported early in the COVID-19 pandemic have declined in recent months, but about one-third of Americans say they are more depressed since the pandemic began, according to a study by the USC Center for the Digital Future. The second study of the social and cultural impact of the coronavirus conducted by the Center also found two-thirds of Americans who reported increased anxiety are concerned about the future of the world – higher percentages than those who reported being anxious about their own health, politics, their jobs, or safety. ANXIETY AND LONELINESS DROP The study reported 32% of Americans say they are feeling more lonely since the beginning of the pandemic, down from 37% reported in April. Forty-nine percent say they are feeling more anxious, down from 62%reported in April.

NINETY PERCENT OF AMERICANS DO NOT WANT TO MAINTAIN A TRADITIONAL WORK SCHEDULE, AND ALMOST ONE-THIRD WOULD NEVER GO BACK TO AN OFFICE, REPORTS NEW CENTER STUDY_ August 26,
2020_ — Almost all Americans want to change their work life when the COVID-19 pandemic ends, with large percentages ready to shift to a permanent home office, according to a study by the USC Center for theDigital Future.
The study found that working from home during the pandemic has created unique opportunities as well as unprecedented challenges for millions of Americans, including reduced visits to an office, increased working from home, or not going to a traditional office at all.The study found:
• MANY AMERICANS WANT TO CHANGE THEIR CAREERS AND WORK FROM HOME – More than 40 percent (42 percent) want work from home to be permanent,while 25% disagree.

CENTER STUDY FINDS FEW AMERICANS ARE WILLING TO RETURN TO PUBLIC ACTIVITIES DURING THE PANDEMIC; MANY WILL DO NOTHING OUTSIDE THE HOME UNTIL A VACCINE IS FOUND _ August 19, 2020_ — In spite of efforts to re-open the nation’s economy during the COVID-19 pandemic, most Americans are not comfortable resuming daily life outside the home, and one-quarter say they will do nothing in public until a vaccine is available, reports a study by the USC Center for the Digital Future. LOW PERCENTAGES OF AMERICANS ARE READY FOR RETURN TO PUBLIC ACTIVITIES The study found that other than grocery shopping, most people are uncomfortable doing anything outside their homes right now.

One-quarter will wait for a vaccine to do anything in public. (more)
SECOND STUDY BY THE CENTER ON THE SOCIAL IMPACT OF COVID-19 REPORTS FAUCI STILL CONSIDERED #1 SOURCE FOR PANDEMIC INFORMATION _STUDY FINDS RELIANCE ON TRUMP DROPS; PUBLIC SUPPORT OF GOVERNMENT RESPONSE TO THE CORONAVIRUS DECLINES__
August
5, 2020_ — A growing number of Americans say federal, state, and local governments are doing a poor job of responding to COVID-19, and Anthony Fauci continues to be the nation’s most relied-upon source about the coronavirus, reports a new study by the USC Center for theDigital Future.
FAUCI STILL #1 SOURCE FOR PANDEMIC INFORMATION; TRUMP SLUMPS The Center’s second survey of the social impact of the coronavirus, conducted during the fourth week of June as follow-up to an initial study in April, found more Americans (44%) rely on Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, than any other individual for information about the pandemic. After Fauci, individuals rely on New York governor Andrew Cuomo (19%), CNN medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta or the respondent’s own mayor (16%), and Coronavirus Response Coordinator Deborah Birx (15%). The June survey found President Donald Trump is relied on by 12% of Americans for pandemic information, down from 20% in the Center’s survey in April. In the June survey, 29% of conservatives and 2% of liberals said they rely on Trump. The largest level of reliance on Trump was 40% of those who identify themselves as very conservative.(more

IT’S A WONDERFUL INTERNET: WHAT IF THE INTERNET HAD NEVER BEEN BORN? _THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC HAS PRODUCED UNPRECEDENTED DISRUPTION OF OUR GENERATION, BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO. MUCH. WORSE. JEFFREY COLE EXPLORES WHAT OUR PANDEMIC EXPERIENCE WOULD HAVE BEEN IF — LIKE GEORGE BAILEY IN “IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE” — THE INTERNET HADNEVER BEEN BORN._
The internet won!
In the middle of March, with little warning or preparation, we movedour lives online.
What couldn’t be transferred online simply stopped. Movie theaters, concert halls, and theme parks closed. Baseball and basketball suspended their seasons, and it is still not clear if they will resume, or if the football and hockey seasons will ever start. Almost all dining in restaurants stopped, and many people were hesitant to eat even at outside tables at the small number that stayed opened. Travel came to a standstill with airlines barely operating and hotels facing little occupancy. Cruise ships will not see passengers for a very long time. If it couldn’t happen on the internet, it didn’t happen. If it could, it did. (more)

It’s the
middle of June: all across America families are celebrating high school and college graduations. This year it’s very different. Graduates of the class of 2020 will be forever remembered as the Covid Grads, finishing school during the pandemic. In 2020, there were no proms, grad nights or graduation ceremonies. Some graduated on Zoom—celebrating virtually with their classmates—while others stood in the street in front of their homes while friends and families drove by honking from a safe distance. Most college students living away, whether they were seniors or not, finished the last months of the school year by packing up their belongings and moving back in with Mom and Dad. As bad as it was for those finishing the school year, it will be even worse for the high school grads starting their first year of college in the fall. Forget summer travel before starting college. Forget freshman orientation as they get introduced to their living arrangements on a new campus. The only travel in their future will be to their parents’ basement, where they will not need an orientation. All of the experiences of moving to college, making friends and meeting roommates, regulating their own hours and behaviors, and sitting in a classroom soaking up knowledge may have to be deferred for a semester or more.

TECHNOLOGIES OF GRIEF _HOW MUCH OF OUR LIVES CAN WE SQUEEZE THROUGH ZOOM AND OTHER VIDEOCONFERENCE SERVICES? A RECENT FUNERAL MARKED OUT A BOUNDARY._By Brad Berens
When a
family member dies, the script is clear: you scramble the jets, cancel your appointments, lean on a friend to watch the dog, and get there. For me, that means getting to Los Angeles from Portland. My aunt, Marlene Meyer, my mother’s sister, died on May 15th. She was 86, vibrant, still working as an insurance agent days before her death, not ready to die. Our family wasn’t ready either. We do not know if she had contracted Coronavirus — a maddening ambiguity — but we do know that Coronavirus changed her decline, death, andfuneral.
I’ve lived in Oregon since 2009, always aware that the biggest challenge of being far from where I grew up and where my first family still lives would be moments like these. The script is clear, but Coronavirus changed the script. (more)
CORONAVIRUS DISRUPTION PROJECT FINDS DIFFERENCES IN BEHAVIOR BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN DURING THE PANDEMIC _May 21, 2020_ — While many Americans agree that the coronavirus is changing life at home on an unprecedented scale, men and women report significant differences in their views and behavior, according to the first comprehensive study of the social and cultural impact of the pandemic conducted by the Center for the Digital Future at USC Annenberg and the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB).“We are
seeing many differences between how men and women are experiencing life during the pandemic – especially in their levels of concern about the effects of the coronavirus, what they miss, and what they enjoy,” said Jeffrey Cole, director of the Center for the DigitalFuture.
The overall findingsreleased
April 29 in the Center’s study, “The Coronavirus Disruption Project: Living and Coping During the Pandemic,” revealed many changes in views and behavior – both positive and negative – reported by Americans since the pandemic and safer-at-home restrictions began. _(For an overview of key issues found in thestudy, go here

GOING TO WORK: A COMMUTE OF TEN MILES OR TEN FEET? _DATA FROM THE CENTER’S NEW CORONAVIRUS DISRUPTION PROJECT SUGGESTS THAT MANY AMERICANS WILL NEVER GO BACK TO DAILY COMMUTES TO WORK IN OFFICES, AND AS CENTER DIRECTOR JEFFREY COLE EXPLAINS, THAT’S NOT ABAD THING, EITHER._
The phrase
“going to work” has taken on an entirely new meaning. Two months ago, most of us had never heard of Zoom. Now, for those who are working at home during the Coronavirus pandemic, Zoom is a way oflife.
Zoom has moved into a rarefied atmosphere of the tiny list of companies whose brands that have become verbs: Google, Xerox, Uber. The invitation is not, “do you want to join me in a Zoom Meeting,” but rather, “let’s Zoom.” The latest unemployment figures, the highest since the Great Depression, show that about 15% of Americans are unemployed. Other than essential workers (health care, delivery, police, supermarkets), the rest have moved much (if not all) of our jobs online. We made this move in a matter of days without preparation. Many of us did it without any prior experience doing our jobs online. Data from the Center’s new study with the Interactive Advertising Bureau, “The Coronavirus Disruption Project: Living and Coping During the Pandemic,” shows that moving our work lives online has been a success — particularly compared to other activities we have been compelled to move online, such as school work.

STUDY OF THE CORONAVIRUS’ IMPACT BY THE CENTER FOR THE DIGITAL FUTURE AND INTERACTIVE ADVERTISING BUREAU FINDS RAPID LIFE CHANGES AND CONCERNS — AS WELL AS ENTHUSIASM — WHILE AMERICANS CONFRONT THEPANDEMIC
_April 29, 2020_ – Americans coping with the coronavirus are reporting changes in their lives occurring in days that previously took months or years, a wide-ranging study of life during the pandemic conducted by the USC Center for the Digital Future and the Interactive Advertising Bureau has found. The study shows Americans report many concerns about their lives as well as increased loneliness and anxiety since the outset of the coronavirus pandemic, but they also describe strengthened relationships and enjoying the benefits of working at home. Titled “The Coronavirus Disruption Project: How We are Living and Coping During the Pandemic,” the study also found significant percentages of Americans who had never previously banked online or bought from internet sources have now been pushed into the online experience because of the pandemic. “We are exploring the biggest disruption of our lives,” said Jeffrey Cole, director of the Center for the Digital Future in the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. “Daily life is far more disrupted by the pandemic than after 9/11 or the beginning of World War II, and anxiety is at levels only seen after Pearl Harbor and the Great Depression. “Yet in spite of the upheaval,” Cole said, “we also found that Americans have positive views about their relationships and hope for how their lives will proceed after the pandemic ends.” (more)
