It was a 10-year-old friend, Yuv, who taught me about the “raise hand” icon in Zoom. This, as it would turn out, was the beginning of the end of my love affair with virtual meetings. Clicking on that ridiculous ‘raise hand’ icon made me feel like a teacher had rapped me on the finger and said, “Stand up on the bench.”
