Is technology a boon or a bane?
This
Linking Words
is the most arguable issue as with advancement in technology people are able to do their job remotely or do homeschooling rather than commuting to the concerned places.
However
Linking Words
, I am of the opinion that the environment which we adapt to while working at an office or studying in educational institutions are more beneficial for the overall growth of the company and
also
Linking Words
for the personality development of a student. Indeed, there are advantages of work from home or online classes as the travel time is cut down. Especially in metropolitan cities where hours are spend commuting due to heavy traffic.
This
Linking Words
time can be utilized to be with their family members.
Moreover
Linking Words
, balancing personal and professional life has become easier especially for working parents.
For example
Linking Words
, for a working mother work from home is a blessing since she can manage time for her children and old parents and need not hire a nanny or send them to daycare.
Nevertheless
Linking Words
, there are certain drawbacks of online schools and work .eventhough it is comfortable ,employees lack team spirit due to communication gap and may feel left out and will lose interest in their performance,
thus
Linking Words
affecting overall productivity.
Furthermore
Linking Words
, in homeschooling ,soft skills
such
Linking Words
as discipline, teamwork, competitive awareness and socializing cannot be taught.
For instance
Linking Words
, while on zoom meeting employees or students are not much interactive which they can be, when they are having a face to face communication. To conclude, I believe, even though people have the independence of online education and job at the comfort of their home, the drawbacks namely, a decline in productivity due to absence of team spirit and lack of overall personality development of a child due to inadequate social skills overshadows the advantages.
Hence
Linking Words
, the traditional method of going to college and office are irreplaceable.
