Technology in today's modern world has become so advanced, that people can now
work
 from the convenience of their own
home
 with its help. There are both advantages and disadvantages in
this
 situation. Working from
home
 can be
time
 and money efficient, but at the same
time
, it can
also
 cause interruptions during
work
. Being able to
work
 at our own place gives us additional
time
 and
also
 saves us money. Since we do not need to travel to and from

. Working in a non-office environment might not be comfortable for some.
This
 is especially true for those who have young children at
home
. There could be times when their children need their attention while they are attending virtual meetings or while they are talking on the phone. Some people might

 as printers and scanners. These are some possible drawbacks of working at

. In conclusion, modern technology has enabled people to
work
 from anywhere. As there are both pros and cons about
this
 flexibility, organisations should allow their employees to decide which option is preferred, so that it will benefit both the organisations and their staff.
