(Kinetics, 2010, pp. 1–3)
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an extraordinary emergency around the whole world, effecting many institutions. In the field of education, in order to prevent the spread of disease, more than 190 countries closed its physical activities. Hence technology employed many online platforms to promote digital learning. Learning management systems (LMS) were adopted by most of the institutes. Students start using online platforms like COURSERA & UDEMY.
Many healthcare systems have optimized their business plans by adopting machine learning and artificial intelligence to move forward. Many telehealth services were offered as per location using Google maps to reach patients in time of Covid or to provide online consultations.
In a very short time, organizations adapted to the new world order and started digitalizing their organizations in different sectors and regions. Examples include, Mckinsey global have accelerated the digitization of a variety of their services like customer and supply chain interaction.
Employees and students started working on gaining online skills alongside their studies and jobs like personal branding ,freelancing to generate employability.
The use of mobile internet also helped us to be aware of fake propagandas and news. It provided us the opportunity of learning the correct knowledge and sharing it as well.

During the pandemic ,since people were adapting to new platforms, learning new ways of doing things also accelerated. For Example, the use of ZOOM platform was around 15 to 20% before covid which turned out to 85% during the pandemic because everyone was using ZOOM along with Microsoft team for virtual meetings, classes, and learning. This opportunity brought a lot of innovations within countries by individuals coming up with different solutions for said issues and challenges during the pandemic.

YOURSELF: Individual Framework of Perception

Global Village

Informed
(Lin, 2021)
I perceive it as world has become a global village. Use of mobile phones made it possible to start investigation at other parts of the world even before the virus reached. I view it as an effective tool in making me an informed person. In our organization, I made sure I was in contact with people at a distance as I had been informed through the device even before anyone in the organization had contracted. Use of mobile phones made work easier at home as it is a time to work remotely. For that matter, emails and ZOOM meetings are held with which it has kept my work going and a big number of people were saved when it was time of downsizing.

(What will be the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on healthcare systems?, 2020)
Smart phones make learning more effective in classrooms and various other online learning platforms.
AI is responsible for higher productivity across a range of professions. They offer opportunities for personal development through different platform, such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and many more sites.
According to a survey, 85% of students use social networking sites daily out of which approximately 97% utilize such sites to stay in touch with their friends.
It also helps us in attending seminars and workshops virtually which are offered in distant places and even foreign countries.
However, on the other hand AI has made us lazy and less creative.

Covid-19 has significantly affected the educational sector around the world. Nonetheless, AI have decreased the learning gap induced by corona virus. The traditional classrooms have been transformed into virtual classes with the help of AI.
Corona induced lockdowns had disrupted the health facilities offered to people. However, numerous clinics with the help of AI begun telemedicine outpatient administrations.
Moreover, cell phones are equipped with the Global Positioning System (GPS), helping in tracing and locating new areas.
However, AI also puts numerous challenges in front of individuals. Propagation of fake news is one of the huge task, which creates panic and disorder among the masses.
Secondly, using social media for a long period may adversely affect health of an individual like like eyesight, posture, dizziness, and weight gain.
Regardless of whether cell phones are made private, there are still security dangers created by hackers through intense virus
Conclusion

Artificial intelligence in Mobile phones is : NOW, NEAR & NEXT
Dynamic Personalization
Knowledge and awareness
Efficient production
(Jones, 2021)
During the Covid-19 pandemic, the impact of lockdowns and social distancing has been reduced with the help of AI in shape of virtual platforms, social media sites, and other internet spots. It helped in overcoming the feeling of loneliness and insecurity
AI is an efficient tool which pragmatically impacts the progress of different sectors, such as health facilities, education system, businesses, and so on.
