Around the world, due to the COVID-19

pandemic

, more adults started to work from

home

, and more children are beginning to study from

home

because of the health recommendations and restrictions. The COVID-19

pandemic

also

known as the coronavirus

pandemic

, is an ongoing

pandemic

of coronavirus disease caused by the transmission of a virus among humans. Certainly,

this

behaviour has started before the outbreak, but the number of people working or studying at

home

has highly increased during the

pandemic

. Nowadays many people have access to computer, internet and mobile phone and these became more available and cheaper for everybody. Due to technological progress, its availability and easy access, many people work distantly and school children learn from

home

. I think

this

is a positive development, but there must be an adequate balance.

Therefore

, the technology has become cheaper and more accessible for people.

On the other hand

, there are some negative aspects of distance learning and working. People less communicate with their coworkers. Decreased social interaction could lead to psychological problems,

such

as depression or other mental problem. Managers and teachers could not monitor, fully control how a worker and a student are performing their tasks.

For example

, they can spend their time doing something different rather than doing their job or learning. In conclusion, I am convinced by the idea of working and studying from

home

. It’s positive,

such

as convenience for people.
