More and more people work from home and study from home with the development of computer technology. Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

It is true that with the rapid development of technology, nowadays people tend to^[a] work or study at home especially in major cities. In my point of view, this trend could have both positive and negative consequence in equal measure.^[b]

They are several benefits for people who work or study at home. Firstly, and most importantly^[c], it can help employees saving^[d] on ^[e]commute time. A good case in point is that workers, in a conventional way, usually spend 1 or 2 hours on transportation from home to work or work to home in big cities each day^[f]. If such time can be saved through working at home, the workloads completed ^[g]everyday wold^[h] be increased significantly. Secondly, students who study at home can acquire a wide a wide^[i] range of resources^[j] through online. For example, there are usually limited resources provided by the school on the unique topics such as ^[k]dinosaurs, while students can obtain a deep understanding about this topic through surfing the internet.

On the other hand, some drawbacks of working or studying at home needs ^[l]to be considered.^[m] One of the disadvantages is that it can reduce the work productivity. This is because people who^[n] at home usually have more flexibility^[o] compared to those working at traditional workplace. Therefore, employees working at home have the ability to delay the start of work ^[p]consequently leading to a reduced productivity. Moreover, in terms of studying at home, social isolation could be easily developed. Students who lose the opportunity to have a face to face communication with others tend to feel loneliness^[q] causing^[r] a poor mental development in the later stage.
