It is becoming increasingly common to work or study from home since technology has become more accessible and affordable. Some
people
 think that
this
 situation is a positive development.
On the contrary
, I believe that
this
 trend could lead to various drawbacks for the following reasons. On the one hand, working remotely might be efficient yet it decreases physical social interaction between human beings. As a social creature, socialization plays a significant role in human life in order to survive.
Therefore
, it is important for
people
 to maintain their interaction with each other. Offices or schools are supposed to be places where the relation begins but when the situation is shifted, the public is not interacting in the same way anymore, which leads to a decrease in social skills.
Furthermore
, the lack of social skills could be harmful for children since they are still in their developing age and socialization is important for their brain development.
On the other hand
,
people
 who are working remotely could have a vulnerable body because there is

 of physical activities.
For instance
,
people
 who work in offices more or less must perform some physical action since they need to travel from their houses to their workplaces. By staying at home, workers tend to sit in front of their computers and do not move at all.
This
 circumstance causes several negative health conditions,
such
 as scoliosis. The same thing goes for students. Students, either children or teenagers, are required to be active.
However
, if they study from home, they are losing the experience of doing physical education or other

.
To sum up
, the method of remote working or studying provides several drawbacks to the social and physical condition of employees or students.
Therefore
, I remain convinced that
this
 is a negative development.
