Holy crap! What you're about to read, although didn't happen to you, will leave you mortified!

See, before a couple of years, online classes and online meetings on Zoom, Teams, Skype, and whatnot, wasn't as regular as they are today. Although Zoom was created in 2011, it wasn't until two years ago that it gained popularity.

Taking part in group meetings and group classes became a possibility thanks to technology. A majority of people were forced to work or study online, and since we were still familiarizing ourselves with virtual spaces, we goofed up.

Many times.

Having said that, there's nothing better than to attend a meeting in your shorts or a class in your PJs, right? It wasn't long after that people realized the perks of virtual spaces.

They could work and study from the comfort of their bed, or their bathroom, for that matter! That said, it's never a good idea to get too comfortable working with virtual spaces.

It can be dangerous, especially if you don't know how to use technology. Don't even get us started on screen-sharing!

A lot of people think they've muted themselves or turned off the camera, only to realize that the cat is out of the bag. Other times, people mute themselves and forget to unmute before talking or giving a speech.

The mute button is a human's archenemy and it is responsible for so much embarrassment, insults, and vulgarity, it's crazy!
