Five years hence I wonder if we will see a shift in thinking. An enjoyable read.

With time as more people find they can make honest connections by phone and internet that are more than superficial, I believe we will see a greater move to working from home. China proves it's not just about the technology - it's about the cultural belief. I also believe that as more people and businesses begin to realize the importance of living "green", telecommuting will become not ony a luxury but a necessity for aiding our environment.
