In some countries the widespread use of internet has given people more freedom to work or study at home instead of travelling to work or college. Do the advantages outweigh disadvantages?

In

this

day and age, people rely increasingly more on the internet, especially for students and employees who prefer to study or work at

home

rather than go to school or workplace. In my opinion, the weaknesses of working or studying remotely outbalance the strengths. On the one hand, it is apparent that our concentration will decrease since there are various temptations at

home

. Take students as an example, their self-control abilities are not mature enough which might lead to their inattention on textbooks. Except for students, employees are

also

more likely to be lazy without the surveillance of their leader or supervisor, which will bring about lower

productivity

and less efficiency compared to working at the office.

In addition

, owing to the dependency on the internet and the computer, the requirement of hardware is increasing dramatically and people need to spend more money on them, which means their hardware,

such

as cable or computer, might not be working and sometimes it will definitely impact the efficiency. Admittedly, there is no denying that working or studying remotely does bring about various advantages.

First

of all, it is obvious that people can avoid extreme weather,

such

as storm and heavy snow, which is very convenient for people who live far.

Moreover

, if epidemics prevail in cities,

such

as Corona Virus, it is imperative for local residents to stay at

home

and isolate themselves to avoid contacting the virus.

However

, I think staying at

home

is merely to keep away from certain extreme situations, it will not increase the working or studying performance directly. To sum up, I think the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
