Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted daily and professional activities. Uncertainties brought by the pandemic challenge successful management of risks in daily life. Amid of such uncertain situations, people may be “forced” to, establish a belief in and trust toward others and unfamiliar technologies which may not necessarily appear trustworthy, in order to avoid the burden and seek for relief from the uncertain circumstances. It is speculated that people may adapt to change their trust in technologies based on such forced use of the new technologies. The authors are currently investigating how peoples' trust toward technologies change as the COVID-19 pandemic becomes more controlled.
