• Description:
  Ever advancing technological developments are altering the very nature of work life, impacting how, when, and where we work. Traditional work schedules, established during the industrial revolution, are beginning to be left behind in favor of more efficient, modern alternatives. In particular, information and communication technologies (ICTs) such as laptops, cellular phones, Blackberries(R), smart phones, tablet computers, and PDAs have made it possible for employees to conduct their work tasks while remaining in touch with a central office from remote locations. Remote work has been examined under a variety of names, such as virtual work, telework, telecommuting, and technology-assisted supplemental work (TASW) to name a few. Whereas collaborative work efforts conducted at different locations is not a recent development, the sophistication and speed at which it occurs, as well as the extent to which it is practiced, far exceeds what remote workers could have expected prior to modern technological advances.
