>>I commuted in and out of NYC - 90 minutes each way on a good day - for 25 years.
>>Most of those trips could have been avoided with today's technology.
I've had home offices (including staff) almost continuously since 1995. The interesting thing I see today, is medical and tech colleagues- and especially their kids- becoming stir crazy stuck at home. They *want* to go out and face that commute.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
