Thanks to technology, watching the ball drop in New York City’s Times Square on New Year’s Eve is a global event – even if it takes some tweaking of one’s celebratory mindset. For instance, here in the Middle East, those of us who watch the ball drop do so at 7 am on New Year’s Day. So when 2020 departs, close camera shots and the proper sound effects will make it seem like old times – if the networks fill in with “b-roll” of couples kissing.
We’ve never seen a year personified to the point where it can be so vilified, but we’ve never experienced the horrors of this pandemic, either.
