According to John Seely Brown, tools drive science. In his interview in Wired Magazine,

Brown states that "tools", not theory or experiment, can completely change the speed and
nature of innovation (Wired, 2000).

With COVID-19, the whole world has realized that not only the tools but also the conditions
direct science. Due to the risk of continuing face-to-face education, universities and schools in

the world used online education as the manner to reach their students, and governments made
this type of learning compulsory and encouraged the active use of it during the pandemic.
