Nowadays, I learned about “taking work to home” during the class. Technology has made it available for people to take work to home. I think this offers more of disadvantages for people than advantages. Because it is possible now, people feel obligated to work at home, and this makes the boundary between home and work blurry. It caused more conflict between family obligation and work obligation.
When I was a president of my club in 2014, I had similar experience of taking work to home. “I couldn’t finish it because I had to go home” was no longer excuse for me. I spare extra time to finish whatever work was given to me. Also, because of the fact that I had my mobile phone, I always needed to answer my phone. I was neurotic at that time about my phone. Once I was eating dinner with my sister and I had to answer every phone call I had. While I was answering the calls, my sister finished her dishes. I felt so sorry for her.
From my experience, I believe the technology just made everyone to work anywhere and anytime whether if they want or not. This is the cause of weakening family bonding.
