These recent years have witnessed the remarkable development of technology and which goes hand in hand with this is the appearance of telecommuting . With the rise of telecommuting, debates comes into existence whether the benefits of this are able to outweigh the ramifications . From my perspective, i disagree with this point due to the following reasons.
Firstly , people can easily realize that telecommuting can provide workers a more flexible and convenient schedule as they can choose the time they want to work on their own which is most suitable to them. Besides, when people work at home , they don’t have to pay for fees such as gas, public transportation,so on therby saving quite money. Moreover, telecommuting also a great tool to connect family members especially in this modern era. To explain, that people work at home , have flexible timetables, they can spend more free time for thei families . Consequently bridge the gaps caused by generation, different outlook on life or lack of sympathy.
On the contrary , it is undeniable that telecommuting’s drawbacks are awful. Nowadays , the rate of people who catch diseases such as obesity , shortsightedness is getting more and more higher and working in front of the computers for several hours is one of the main factors . Futhermore, telecommuting can make people prone to isolate themseleves from others . Since they only work at home or anywhere else , they completely lose real-life contact with their colleagues, gradually they will have a inclination to fall prey to a negative lifestyle, they may lack of essential skills like communication,problem-solving . Last but not least , every email, messages that people send through internet will have a certain effect on the environment. By this way , if the number of people telecommuting is increasing , it means that the condition of the environment will be worsen.
In conclusion , i think that the merits of this trend parallel with the demerits of it .
