Do I really need to be in an office?
Sunday, December 28th, 2008Try asking, “Do I really need to be in an office setting to do my work, or to communicate with colleagues, or to send and receive information?” If the answer is no, a light bulb may go off in your head. With today’s communications technology, it may not matter if you’re working in the financial district or in Timbuktu.
As the personal computer keeps gaining in functionality and performance, it continues to shrink in both size and cost. Affordable Home Office furniture, Cable Internet, online PBX voice-mail services, cheap laser printers can all help a small business look and sound big. Notebook computers, cellular phones, Internet fax services and Video conferencing can let you take the home office on the road-from breakfast nook to deck to car as the day progresses.
Working from home will only get easier. Electronic mail, online services, and the Internet are just a few of the digital conveniences that are daily changing the face of how we acquire and transmit information.
