South Africa, July 9 -- Stuck at home during the coronavirus pandemic, with movie theatres closed and no restaurants to dine in, we've been spending most of our time online. According to a recent report by Socialbakers, the state of social media and digital marketing has changed drastically and we have changed the way we use the internet.
