In the world, there are various workers doing remote works and there are many students choosing online learning due to the affordability and the convenience of the modern technologies. In my opinion, this change brings both benefits and drawbacks.
Working and studying at home have many advantages. The first one is the convenience for workers and students. Only accessing the internet also helps people do their works or study anywhere and anytime. Moreover, they do not need to leave their house or do not need to interact with others by face-to-face meetings. Therefore, it will help people save a large amount of time. Another benefit is that this development will limit many social problems such as traffic, overpopulation in huge urban areas and in the capital. For example, when people work at home, most offices will be built in the sub-urbans or in the rural areas as adults and children must not travel to their companies or their schools. As a result, there will be a significant reduce in the amount of population in the major cities.
However, there also are many disadvantages of this development. Firstly, using technological devices too much makes people have health diseases such as problems related to eye or mental health issues. For instance, students spend most of their time on using a laptop, an ipad. Therefore, children easily have diseases like stress, depression because the negative effects of modern devices may harm to people’s mental. Secondly, remote working or learning are not enough to make sure time and quality of their tasks because when not having face-to-face meetings, people may lack of responsibilities. For example, if many employees and leaners are not under pressure of the control of their bosses and teachers, they will be lazy, will not focus on their tasks. This may lead bad academic achievements and low work performances.
