are no longer forced to travel to their place of

because they can do most of their tasks from their homes. That brings us to a controversial situation, what are the advantages and disadvantages of

this

new way of living? Undoubtedly the biggest advantage is the new opportunities by being able to apply for jobs not only locally but globally. Workers have now more flexibility in their working lives. It can be particularly useful for parents or

who live far from their workplace. Working from

is

also

more comfortable - you can take a break whenever you need. Another advantage is that you have the possibility to

work

for companies in other countries through the use of the internet.

On the other hand

, working from

can

have its disadvantages. Travelling to

and working in an office with others can be a very sociable activity which many

enjoy, especially if they live on their own. Without
