Media technology is the future. The swiftly advancing technology can, without a doubt, enhance our lives and make them more manageable. According to a study, 90% of humans, aged 5 to 17, use computer systems and approximately 59% of them are online. Given the current situation and the need for social distancing, media technology builds bridges needed for connections. In light of the need for such advances, Pakistan is launching its first state-of-the-art Media Technology University in Islamabad.
