Around the world it is likely that more adults will work from home and more children will study from home as computer technology becomes cheaper and more accessible. Do you think it is negative or a positive development ?

In
this
modern world,
technology
has been increasing rapidly. Almost every adult and child around the world can be able to easily and cost-efficiently access the computer systems, for which they utilize it for programs like
work
and study from
home
. Though there are some advantages, I firmly believe that
this
is a negative development. In the following paragraphs, I will state the strong reasons to support my viewpoints with relevant examples.
Firstly
,
although

may feel convenient, there are certain drawbacks, like even after completion of office timings we need to stick to the computers until our corporate intended us to.

all the leisure timings are reduced, and many could not be able to maintain a balance between their office
work
and personal life as they are working from
home
, which reduces the interactions among family members,
thus
degrading relationships.
For example
, according to a survey conducted by a journal in Times Now, IT companies in India prefer their employees to a job from
home
.
This
is because these corporates could make their employees task overtime without additional payments.
Hence

Secondly
, educational activities of
children
from

for a long time could affect the
children
's educational progress and recreational activities. Though a parent can monitor their
children
, it is not possible to foster them like teachers at schools. ,
Also
other factors
such
as the interaction of a child with other kids will increase the kid's social ability and friends making tendency. But due to the trend of studying from

, a child will face difficulties socializing and making friends.
For instance

there is a long way for the

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
