It is said that because of the evolution of
communication
 technology and
transportation
, people are freely working and living anywhere they want. In my opinion,
this
 trend brings many more benefits than drawbacks.
First
, rapid development of
communication
 technologies helps people contact

immediately, even
 they are

 in a very far distance. People

 on today’s powerful technology devices to work at anytime and anywhere by using their laptops, smart phones

Therefore

by

 video calls which they can share

 each other about their life daily.
Second
, thanks to the development of
transportation
, long distance becomes shorter for

, and people now easy to choose a suitable place to live and work.
For example
, an employee who is working in

a city’s downtown
 can easily set up his living in suburban area nearby wherever there is a rapid

 connecting these two areas. Anyway, there still has a drawback that today people have less face-to-face appointments than before because
communication
 technologies have helped them keep in touch so closely by using social network platforms for messages, emails, video calls or conferences and updates of daily or important moments. In conclusion, the development of
communication
 technologies and
transportation
 obviously has many more advantages for people to work and live anywhere all over the world than disadvantages that it may have.
