Soon, We'll All Telecommute
from the I've-heard-that-before dept
For years random studies have been coming out saying that telecommuting would soon be all the rage. Evidence, however, has shown that it's never really caught on for a variety of reasons. Yet, the studies keep coming. Here's one that seems to predict that within five years more than half the U.S. domestic workforce will be working remotely or telecommuting. I'm not sure how they define "working remotely", but this certainly sounds like a stretch. They then try to tie this to advancing wireless systems - which, again, I think is a stretch. I do think wireless systems will make it easier to work remotely, but there are many other factors in determining if people are telecommuting or not.
