You might be stuck in quarantine, but at least you have your trusty companion with you.

No, not your family. Not your friends. Your screen.

If there’s one source of comfort to be found stuck inside your house for months on end, it’s your screen. Your laptop. Your phone. It doesn’t matter which.

You’re stuck inside with your screen, but do you really know how to handle it? Depending on how you interact with your screen it can either be your closest ally or your greatest enemy.

During this crisis, this screen will either provide you with a wealth of entertainment and education or it will drive you into the ground.
