At the Office in Pajamas -- The Working World of the 21st Century
[ send me this paper ]
This 14 page report discusses the new realm of “virtual reality” and the new world that has come into existence in terms of the ways in which modern human beings communicate, connect, and work. Advanced technology allows workers in virtually (pun intended)all disciplines to work at home at any time of day or night. It is the perfect domain for workaholics, night owls, people who are caregivers for young children or elderly parents, and even for those who just hate having to “punch in” at a certain time in a certain place, day in and day out. While there are those who worry that such a new system of work will serve to alienate people from one another and keep them from the social interaction of the workplace, the truth is that technology has the potential to free people from the constraints of corporate 9-to-5 lives. In fact, the autonomy such work arrangements provide often allow a person to more fully focus on their lives rather than behaving as if they were running on a continual treadmill.
