    Telecommuting involves using a computer and modem at home to communicate with an office that may be many miles away. Modems enable computers to transmit information over telephone or cable lines. This allows workers like reporters to send documents to editors in different locations. Telecommuting provides advantages like reducing travel and allowing flexible schedules. A study found that if 10-20% of activities requiring transportation were done remotely, the US could save $24 billion annually through reduced pollution, gasoline use, and increased productivity or leisure time. A survey in Coral County found that 12,000 people in Polyp (3% of population), 20,000 in Medusa (5%), and 16,000 in Sunport (4%) telecommute,

    TELECOMUTING

    Computers in the Home Office

    The invention of the microcomputer and modem has made it possible for business professionals
    to leave the traditional office and work from home. The process of using a computer and modem
    at home to communicate with an office, often many miles away, is called telecommuting.

    The Process of Telecommuting

    Telecommuting is possible because modems enable information stored in one computer to be


    transmitted to another computer over telephone lines or cable lines, no matter what the distance.
    For example, a reporter located in New York can easily send a copy of a document to her editor
    who is located in California. The reporter simply types a report on her computer, and then the
    modem connected to her computer sends the report over telephone lines to her editor’s computer,
    which also has a modem connected to it. The editor can then make any necessary changes and
    the document is ready for printing.

    Advantages of Telecommuting

    From the previous example, you can conclude that telecommuting has advantages. Business
    professionals can reduce the need for extensive traveling to and from work. Telecommuting also
    allows the employee to work at his or her own pace and at the time of day that is most
    convenient for him or her. Over the next few years, the traditional concept of getting up in the
    morning and being at the office by 8:00 a.m. may change to getting up in the afternoon and
    walking to your computer in the next room. This is because computers and modems are
    becoming common household items. A study by Arthur D. Little resulted in the following
    statement:
    1
    …if 10% to 20% of the activities then requiring transportation were
    performed by telecommunications, the US economy could save $24 billion
    annually. Telecommuting would eliminate at least 1.8 million tons of
    pollutants, save 3.5 billion gallons of gasoline, and free up 3.1 billion
    personal hours for increasing productivity or leisure time.
