, in spite of the obvious advantages, there is a lot to be concerned about the consequences of less socialization that follows. Humans are gregarious beings by nature, so the impeded personal contact with others is a readily noticeable disadvantage of studying or working at home. Still, it is possible to argue that students and workers could socialize with family and people living nearby.
