Nowadays, there are more workers working from home and more students studying from home, due to the fact that computer technology is more and more easily accessible and cheaper. Do you think it is a positive or negative trend?

As technology advances, more and more people have incorporated it into their daily lives.

doesn’t provide the opportunities to do so. There are a huge number of skills students will miss out on other than studying

as social capabilities, leadership and teamwork. When isolated from other people, they wouldn’t develop a better understanding of people and build rapport with others. As for those in a company, working from home raises several problems. Supervisors would get less opportunity to actually observe what their subordinates are doing. There’s no guarantee that all workers have the same level of discipline in them. Even if they are all earnest, seniors wouldn’t be able to monitor and help those who are having trouble. Teamwork will be much harder to maintain because with everyone being online, emotions could be filtered and even misinterpreted. They would have difficulties in relating and appreciating each other’s ideas. Misunderstandings would spark furiously and respect would be lost.

could lead to the company’s demise. To sum everything up, remote work and homeschooling should be avoided if possible. Its benefits are not worth the risks and could even backfire.
