nternet has become an important part of modern life. Using internet-based technologies for work and study while staying has become very common.

This

essay will argue that working and studying from home is a positive development because it increases people´s free

time

and is

also

beneficial for the environment. The most important benefit of

this

trend is that it saves

time

and money of employees and students.

This

is because they do not need to waste

time

going and coming from work or college.

, people might find more

time

for their hobbies and family commitments. Despite

this

, a possible problem is the lack of communication with other persons, which could lead to social isolation.

However

, new platforms developed with modern technology could tackle

this

issue.

For example

, software like Zoom or Facetime offers the possibility of real-
