But people and companies are very slow to adopt it, and not all types of work can be done from a distance.

Telecommuting would solve a lot of problems. But people and companies are very slow to adopt it, and not all types of work can be done from a distance. And when it is possible, companies tend to hire cheap labor abroad, rather than local workforces. Telecommuting sucks though. I've done it, and hate it. It means your work life and home life are not separated, which causes all sorts of problems. Also, there are many times when it's just better to speak with colleagues in people, especially when you need to discuss or explain something. An interesting idea, but I can't see it ever catching on. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |

In article , Mxsmanic
says... Not unless someone can find a more energy-dense method of storing electrical power than lead batteries. When you have to spend two hours driving 80 km to work, a car that needs a recharge after 50 km isn't going to do the job. I only drive 5km to the effice. The battery of a typical electric car with a 100Km range would last for one week. Hint: nobody is forcing you to live 200km away from office. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |
