Hi Listers,
Some food for thought:
1. "a new economic axis which separates industries, much like "blue-collar" and "white-collar" did in the early 20th century; location-dependent (LD) and location-independent (LI) jobs"
2. "Some jobs may even split up. Consider elementary and secondary education : teaching is really a fusion of two jobs, teaching and childcare...the separation of these jobs into two different things is already being pioneered by home-schooling co-ops."
3. Offshoring: simply a percusor to automation.
A long but informative post on the future of telecommuting:
