COVID-19 has devastated communities, overwhelmed healthcare systems, and damaged the global economy. As we’ve watched it unfold at its worst, we’ve also seen people — as individuals and organized collectives — at their best.

In what feels like an entirely separate realm, we have watched technology show up to do what it does best: remain hidden in the background, keeping things running. But the two worlds are more interconnected than what appears on the surface.
