of disadvantages. In

this

essay, I am going to focus and examine

this

question from both points of view.

Firstly

, on

one

side of the argument, there are

individuals

who think that an important benefit of working from home is time-saving.

As a result

, most

individuals

lose a serious amount of time in traffic,

as well as

in public transportation. A particularly good example here is a recent study, which shows that an average person usually spends around

one

to two hours, going and coming from their workplace.

Secondly

,

one

of the main problems that arrives with working outside the office, is the lack of interaction with other people.

As a consequence

of

this

, numerous

individuals

tend to become unsociable and uncomfortable around people.

One

good illustration of

this

is the multitude of our society members, which declared that after long periods of time working from home, they became more shy and introverted. On the whole, the development of information technology has both positive

as well as

negative effects on our work environment. As we have seen, there are no easy answers to

this

question. On balance,

however

, I tend to believe that the advantages that come with

this

flexibility outweigh its disadvantages.
