The story of human history can also be viewed as the story of human technological development. First came fire, then flint axe heads, followed by spears, wheels, gun powder, steam power, electricity, piston engines, then computers, satellites and smartphones. Each of these technological innovation changed the way things were done at the time, and the same is true today.
Technology has had a particularly strong impact on working communities. Thanks to the internet and state-of-the-art technology, some companies and employers are allowing their employees to work from home instead of coming to the workplace, thus resulting in more free and family time for their employees.
Professionals these days are no longer confined to the four corners and walls of their offices, which has brought about the phrase 'mobile professionals'. Modern information technology has made it possible for a large number of employees to take their work with them wherever they go.
Another emerging workplace trend is that of employees who are using their own personal electronic devices for work. This trend has been growing for some time in a different form, in that many businesses have supplied employees with modern devices, which could work outside of office.
