The progres of technology during the last decades has deeply influenced our way of life and changed many of our habits.

Thanks to the development of highly performative computers, employees are henceforth capable of working for a company without having to go to office, by simply working on their laptop and submitting their work results via internet.

This procedure is called telecommunting.

This essay will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of telecommuting.

One argument that is often brought up when speaking about the impact that the progres of technology has on our life is that there is less direct contact between people.

From my point of view, working at home in front of a laptop is not quite the same as being in the office in person and discussing and arguing with others.

According to me, the interaction of co-workers enables us to come up with new and sometimes even ground-breaking ideas.

I think that working all alone at home doesn't provide the same opportunities as human interaction.

Then again, one big advantage of telecommuting is that the employees can spend more time with their families when they work from their home office.

For many young parents finding someone to take care of their child is a real problem and sometimes one of the two parents has even to quit his or her job in order to be with the child.

Telecommuting could help these people and enable them to be with their child without having to renounce to working.

Thirdly, I think that telecommuting is really beneficial for those who otherwise could not easily go to work such as people with a physical disability.

Telecommuting could allow those people to contribute to the well-being of a company.

It is well known that one of the hardships of having a handicap is social exclusion.

By letting those people work without forcing them to move from their home, they could participate in an activity that his socially valuarized.

Telecommuting could thus be a tool for social inclusion.

Even though there are many good points about telecommuting, I do preferworking in an office.

For me it is essential to have the opportunity to have direct contact with other people.

Moreover I do not bear the idea of spending all my day in my appartement.

If I spend a whole day locked in my own four walls I easily get sad and think that I have wasted my time, whereas if I get to meet and interact with other people I feel happy and fulfilled at the end of the day.

Nevertheless, I think that there are a couple of situations where telecommuting can be a reasonable choice such as the exemples given in the essay, but for the time being I would clearly prefer to work in office.
