Due to advances in technology, working from home has become more popular. What are the advantages? What are the disadvantages?

Home-based

work

has become prevalent

due to

developments in technology.

This

essay discusses the merits and drawbacks of

this

phenomenon. There are two main benefits of working from home. The first of these is that

this

work

mode is more flexible. If someone works from home, they can make their own schedule unlike being tied to office hours in a traditional job.

For instance

, I

work

online building websites and often

work

at night because I find

this

is the best

time

I can concentrate.

Furthermore

, it saves a lot of

time

. The reason for

this

is that less

time

is wasted in traffic to go to an office.

Therefore

, there is more

time

for non-

work

activities.

However

, there are

also

drawbacks to

this

. The most significant is that it can be difficult to be motivated.

This

is because no boss is looking over the workers’ shoulders.

For example

, I often find I waste a lot of

time

surfing around the Internet because nobody can see I am doing

this

. Another limitation is communication between colleagues is more challenging.

This

is

due to

not meeting face-to-face and having to communicate online.

This

can lead to less effective communication and even misunderstanding of co-workers’ real intentions. In conclusion, the advantages of working from home are that there are fewer distractions and it saves

time

. The disadvantages are that it often leads to lower levels of motivation and difficulties in communication.
