Research shows that business meetings and training are happening online nowadays. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Today's virtual

world

and the compulsory social distancing, especially during the recent

pandemic, have revolutionised the educational and business industry.

Although

this

phenomenon has both positive and negative sides to it, I am convinced that the advantages are far more than its perceived drawbacks. There are several arguments in the favour of virtual meetings and courses.

First

of all, it has resulted in more flexibility

access for students to learn subjects based on their timetable and pace.

For example

hours.

This

usually leads to people enhancing their educational qualifications and getting promoted. Apart from that, a businessman is able to attend as many meetings as

time

allows in a day and use their

time

more productively.

Furthermore

, they are able to expand their business connections around the

world

, which means having more customers and developing local businesses. Adding to

this

, the online platform has been beneficial for educators and employers either. For them to hold their meetings and classes, they need to spend huge sums of money on renting places and providing equipment.

For instance

, if there are no workplaces, educational institutes, desks, chairs, and electricity bills, the money that they save will be phenomenal.

In addition

, it will save them from the hassle of controlling the safety of employees and students and conforming to standards.

Moreover

, they are not constrained to the space of their places anymore. Educators can have as many students as they can by holding classes on Zoom and employers can hire a lot of people from around the

world

.

Consequently

, they can earn more and have better lives. Having said that, there is a dark side.

Firstly

, employees and trainers usually end up working for longer hours than they are supposed to. The logic behind

that is

their access to their

work

equipment at their homes. A good example of

that is

an engineer ,who used to have the access to the business email at

work

, is now continuously receiving emails and might continue to

work

even throughout the night, and an English teacher might even hold classes on weekends.

Thus

, the

time

they could spend with their families or doing their hobbies would be replaced by working more. To sum up, the advantages of virtual life are greater than
