There is debate about whether the recent development in communication technology and transportation has positively or

environment by allowing people the freedom to work
and live anywhere in the world
. I strongly believe that the advantages of this
freedom outweigh the disadvantages due to multiple reasons which I will explore in the essay below.
First
, when people have the option to work
anywhere in the world
, it helps maintain the family unit and thus
increase the productivity of the employee because he/ she is emotionally content. Before the advancement of communication technoloy

performance and emotional balance of employees. For example
, a study published by a scientific journal on the ability of employees to separate between work
and home problems stated that 80% of employees bring their home problems to work
with them and vice versa.
Another advantage to

is the decrease of immigration numbers of young, talented people or a decrease in the human capital of a country. This
is especially valid for poor countries which lose a huge number of talented individuals who want to work
abroad. This
" brain drain" does not only affect the economical cycle of a country, it also
negatively impacts the social and educational aspects of the whole society. Thus
, the option to work
remotely allows these individuals to remian

for international companies while travelling occasionally for meetings.
In conclusion, the advancement of communication technology has heralded a new positive era in work
environments. Individuals are no longer bound by physical office space, rather they can work
anywhere in the world
. This
