Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic is changing the way of life and the way of thinking of all people. Since the pandemic began in December 2019, the whole world has begun to self-isolate, following WHO and government recommendations to implement strict health protocols. The impact of this protocol is very broad and affects the world economy. On the other hand, the application of technology has become very massive, digitalization touches almost all aspects of life at every level of society. The limitations of mobilization and activities have triggered many new platforms to grow to accommodate these limitations, all of which are done to keep people maintaining health protocols while still meeting their daily needs. People in urban areas adapt more quickly to digital changes that occur, of course, because of the environment and supporting infrastructure. This research raises the topic of the aspects of digitizing processes in rural areas in the pandemic era and how the application of technology brings changes and impacts in the lives of people in rural areas
