Telecommuting:
Telecommuting and
telework are synonyms for the use of
telecommunication to work outside the
traditional office or workplace, usually
at home or in a mobile situation.
According to one study, telecommuting
has been growing at 15% a year since
1990 in North America. Although work at
the company premises is not likely to
disappear, new forms of
telecommunication such as voice and
picture communication and groupware are
likely to make telecommuting more social
in the future. |

Virtual
Organizations
With the arrival of the Internet and the Web as
a kind of "standard" for groupware, one can join
a virtual organization to access resources
developed for members who work almost entirely
through telecommunication with an occasional
face-to-face meeting.
