Technology and the New Meaning of Home-Work

Technological advances such as email and the Internet have drastically changed the way businesses are operating today. This is particularly true for the increasing number of small business owners who are now working from home.

Vancouver, Canada, July 30, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The concept of “Home Work” has taken on a new meaning for nearly 2 million Canadians and more than 7 million Americans who spend most of their time working from home, according to Statistics Canada and the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. The advances in communication technology, such as email and the Internet, have given millions of people the choice of working from the comfort of their own homes. In fact, according to Money Magazine, it is estimated that a home-based business is launched every 11 seconds.

This is definitely true for Dobes Vandermeer, a young software engineer who created an online accounting software called Clarity Accounting for self-employed professionals like himself. “Why would I want to go work for someone else in an office when I can commute to my office from my bedroom in less than 5 seconds?” In fact, Vandermeer is creating technology to support the new wave of entrepreneurs who are discovering the freedom and joy of working from home. This simple accounting software he has created allows business owners to collaborate with accountants and bookkeepers virtually so that even accounting professionals may enjoy the benefits of working from home.

There is no doubt that the Internet has largely contributed to the rising number of people working from home. According to the General Social Survey (GSS) conducted by Statistics Canada, “[the] advent of computer and automated technology affected the work of home-based workers more than that of their non-home-based counterparts, and that home-based workers used these new technologies much more.”

While technology might have been the key contributor to the increase in the number of people doing “home-work” for a living, there is no doubt that more technological advances are on the way to making “home-work” easier than ever before.
