Secondly
, we humans are social creatures, and day-to-day commuting and working in an

 gives us the chance to socialise and to meet new people.

further
 advantage is that employees no longer have to be located where the company resides, they can

Therefore

 (mostly their homes), while other tasks continue to perform at the
