Nowadays, people can live and work wherever they want because of the development of communication technology and transport.
Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
参考:
Many people now are able to work at home because of the convenience offered by smart phones and computer networks etc. and one of the main advantages lies in the fact that it promotes efficiency at work by saving the time on commuting to and from the office. Nowadays, more and more people travel with their work without worrying geographical limitations and as long as there is an Internet access, people are able to take care of work issues almost at any places. This can be very important to people such as writers whose work takes inspiration and creativity.
People are now granted the chance to decide the location of their residence due to the fast development of transport system, which alleviates the pressure of housing situation in many major cities. People living in densely populated places such as Beijing and London can settle down in the suburbs of the city and lead a more qualified life with bigger flats or houses, which is quite essential to families with children. More importantly, modern transport system contributes to the growth of rural areas and attracts businesses and investments and it eases the unbalanced development of a nation.
However, there is a concern that people are becoming somewhat isolated and indifferent to others because of spending too much on modern technologies. It can be true to some extent. Therefore, I think that it is quite necessary for us to promote a more active lifestyle while making the most of the advantages brought by the development of modern communication technology and transport.
