 and possible detrimental effects on health and relationships. One of the biggest benefits of mobile technology is that

 no longer have to

 in an office. In fact, many businesses now permit their staff to

 Is particularly helpful for busy parents; it can reduce stress levels and help

 can continue outside the office. Phone calls can be made almost anywhere and documents can be read or written on public transport or in cafes.

 from home, but a person who spends too much time on their computer may find that their health suffers in the long run. On the whole, most
