Note: The story you are going to read is full of imagination
On Feb 20, 2020, X tweets with a screenshot about I/0'20 stating he/she is eligible to attend the I/O’20 conference on May 12 -14, 2020.
X was Super excited and started with the preparation to travel
But on Mar 5, 2020, there was a sudden twist in the story X got a mail stating that the I/O’20 conference has been canceled due to the virus pandemic
X got saddened that he/she can’t attend the event, can’t network with friends, can’t share the foods which he/she will bring from his/her country to their friends.
So i decided to make X happy by taking him/her to the I/O’20 conference.
Someone: Are you joking? (That would be your mind voice)How can you take someone to the conference during this pandemic time and by the way WHO ARE YOU? at first.
Me: Well i am the guy who watched all the I/O’s from 2015–2019 on Youtube. To be more precise

- Watched I/O’17 on Jan 2018
- Watched I/O’18 on Jun 2018
