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

Advancement in technology has affected different areas of our lives. In various nations today, increasing use of the internet has allowed individuals to work and attend school from their houses, rather than moving from one place to another.
However
there are concerns that
this
may have some negative effect, in my opinion ,the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. One major beneficial effect of using Cyberspace is that it is less expensive.
This
is because the money that would have been spent on transportation to and fro organisations and institutions of learning is being saved for other purposes. ,
Also

For instance
, research carried out in a Canadian company during the lockdown reveals that workers reported having a lot of savings ever since they started operating from their homes. Due to

in addition
, undergraduates have no avenue of interacting with their lecturers as the case may be in a classroom situation.
Although
in some cases provisions are made for questions in the comment section after the online lecture, they are rarely attended to,
thus
, leaving them in a confused state. In conclusion, despite the fact that there are some disadvantages associated with the use of the World Wide Web, I believe that it has a more positive impact on humans.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
