[00:07.96]On Living the SOHO Lifestyle
[00:12.30]With the advancement of society,
[00:15.25]SOHO,referring to working at home
[00:18.17]by utilizing modern facilities,
[00:21.04]has emerged and is thriving,
[00:23.54]accompanied by controversies.
[00:25.66]Some people advocate such lifestyle,
[00:29.26]As It Is much more flexible and time-saving
[00:32.56]since you can arrange your time as you please
[00:36.17]and you don't have to spend any time on the road.
[00:39.72]Apart from that,
[00:41.27]people might get more inspirations
[00:44.26]in their work in a relaxing atmosphere.
[00:47.37]What's more,
[00:49.06]it would help step up the progress of modern technology,
[00:53.39]as demand usually stimulates innovation.
[00:56.62]The invention of videoconference facilities
[01:00.04]is a typical example in this aspect.
[01:03.15]However, others hold that people
[01:06.20]may have difficulties in concentrating themselves on work
[01:10.50]if they are in a casual and loose environment.
[01:14.29]Besides, face-to-face communication
[01:17.65]and interaction would diminish,
[01:20.33]which may widen interpersonal distance
[01:23.62]and lead to an increasingly indifferent society.
[01:27.29]In my eyes,
[01:29.64]SOHO lifestyle is longed for by most of us.
[01:33.12]However,
[01:33.93]due to its disadvantages as well as different
[01:37.54]natures of various jobs,
[01:39.53]only a small number of people,
[01:41.60]such as writers,
[01:42.91]have the chance of enjoying it.
