People now have the freedom to work and live anywhere in the world due to the development of communication technology and transportation. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?

The ever-advancing technological innovations in the field of

communication

and travelling have rendered people freedom in making choices to live and work from wherever, that best suits them. While

this

has many advantages like convenience in doing business and in conducting official meetings.

However

, it comes at the cost of various drawbacks. One of the most important advantages that the modernization in communicability and transport has brought in people's life, is the convenience in doing business. Today, the

communication

market is flooded with different gadgets and applications that serve to make

communication

ridiculously easy in general and for businessmen

in particular

. Now they can make deals worth millions of dollars by sitting at the comfort of their homes. The easy communicability through smartphones helps them to talk to anyone around the globe with just a click of their finger.

For example

, a recent Asian market survey shows that more than 80% of the deals are being made via telephones, since the

last

decade. 

However

, there are a few disadvantages of

this

trend that should

also

be born in mind.

Firstly

, easy

communication

is promoting the sedentary lifestyles. Since easy communicability has obviated the need to go outdoors for work, it is resulting in increasing prevalence of obesity amongst the adults

that is

considered a gateway to various harmful health conditions.

Secondly

, easy trace-ability and

communication

are spreading frustration and depression amongst the employees who are expected to remain traceable and work 24/7 by their employers. Resultantly, a lack in leisure time is bringing forward various anti-social behaviours and family problems.  To conclude, despite the various advantages that come with easy transport and

communication

, it has various negatives like sedentary way of living, frustration and the brain drain. It is

therefore

suggested that the authorities should rather stay vigilant and watchful for balancing out the pros and cons of

such

advancing technology.
