Human activity in the 21st century is under the influence of the fourth industrial revolution, which is changing the way society lives, develops and exists on a daily basis. The unexpected appearance of the pandemic as a positive reaction was followed by numerous digital solutions that stimulated even greater development and traffic, both web and mobile applications and other digital solutions. The main objective of this paper is to examine digitalization processes, digital solutions, technologies and
applications used during the pandemic and to show the progress of digital solutions developed under new, unknown circumstances, as well as to identify possible challenges in their further development and application and to propose possible solutions. The paper describes the role of technology in facilitating everyday activities in exceptional circumstances and highlights the benefits and potential challenges of applying digital solutions in such circumstances. It describes the most influential web
