People now have the freedom to work and live anywhere in the world due to the development of communication technology and transportation. Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

We live in a modern age where technological advancements are happening rapidly having their effects on human society. One

such

development is communication technology and transportation which help people to work and live anywhere in the world. Though there are arguments, I radically believe that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

To begin

with, there are a plethora of advantages that we experience.

Firstly

, productivity.

In other words

, when a

person

is in his comfort zone, he can provide his best.

For example

, an employee who works from home spends extra

time

on his work as he has nowhere to go when compared to an employee working from an office.

This

increases the amount of work done.

Secondly

, a

person

can spend more

time

with his family.

For instance

, a

person

who works from the comfort of his home has more

time

compared to a

person

who travels to the office on daily basis.

This

will strengthen the family bond.

Thirdly

, if a

person

stays far and travels to the organisation by traditional means of transport

then

a lot of

time

is wasted. But these days new means of transport is accessible, like bullet trains. They save a lot of

time

as they travel at lightning speed by means of magnetic energy.

On the other hand

, there are cons that cannot be ignored. One that stands out is damage to IT culture. If an employee doesn't meet his colleagues

then

there will be no unity among them. Unity is the most important factor that drives an association. Another factor is the lack of direct communication. Even though all the employees meet virtually, there will be some sort of wall between them that prevents the exchange of ideas, even if shared there may be miscommunication.

For example

, In a conference call, due to network issues, a solution for a burning problem may be overlooked if it is not properly conveyed. Extra care needs to be taken in order to overcome these hurdles. To sum up, though the package comes with both merits and demerits, I believe the advantages are stronger than the disadvantages.
