Wow I telecommute, how many world wide people do the same. To telecommute one works from home using the various technologies to keep in touch with their Employer or Corporation. Saving precious time in travel and getting to work drawbacks.
This is not a Technology as such but relies on technology to work efficiently. Also problems do lie in companies finding the right person for the job. Credentials must be... able to work well, alone and away from socialisation and be self motivated. Not everyone is suited to such an isolating position. But think of the benefits, wake up and work not commute through endless traffic, stressing about getting the kids to school on time and then getting work on time, less interruptions, less idle chit chat must equal more quality in the workload.
For me I already do this, I work from home and find that it suits my lifestyle but not everyone is suited. Isolation can cause its own problems making some people less motivated as opposed to more.
However, it works for me but I am my own boss, but I have Clients using Messenger daily to keep in contact as well as email. Telecommuting is fab.
Mobile working is have your laptop, PDA, Mobile phone or Pocket PC and being able to work anywhere that WiFi is available ..cool!! This means using the best technology to work from cafes, motels, hotels, public places. This does not necessary mean that the mobile worker does not have an office but spends limited time in it. More time is spent on the road and in the various places that Wireless Internet Access is available. Best suited for the travelling salesperson and someone who has to be everywhere except their office on a daily basis. This is something that would suit me to the ground, doing coffee at my fav cafe' while working and being able to take my laptop and all work is there right in front of me.
These two are the way of future possibly. Making working on road and at home a breeze. Offices are expensive to run will this mean that the office worker may become a thing of the past ?? We shall see.
