You know a product has arrived when it becomes a verb.   We “Google” what we want to know;  now we “Zoom” to have an online meeting.

 Zoom was not the only videoconferencing technology before Corona arrived, but it quickly became the prevailing standard by solving a bunch of slight problems that competitors had not.   But like any technology, once it is ubiquitous and reliable it becomes part of the background; a given, like telephones and taken for granted.  In short, a commodity.
