Technological advancements made in the last 50 years have dramatically changed our lives. One of the things that technology has enabled us to do is to work from home. This trend seems to be picking up popularity all over the world and there are thousands of individuals that are pursuing full fledge careers from their homes making use of future technology.

Forrester revealed a new study showing that 9% of the total workforce is employed in home based jobs for different companies. Yet another 22.8 million people are operating their businesses from their homes. This unique demographic is having a big impact on neighborhoods. Residential neighborhoods are now turning into business districts with every other home turning into an office for the home owners.

This new trend has resulted in a dire need to equip homes with business class broadband services. In the absence of such a service economic development may be greatly hampered by poor internet services. Hence a large number of multinationals and communities are now getting themselves involved in developing a more reliable broadband infrastructure. In the days gone by employment opportunities used to attract people to a particular neighborhood.

Today however if people are unable to work from home in a particular neighborhood then they will move to another one. In other words, communities that do not possess proper work from home facilities will lose out on 10% to 20% of the total jobs. This is the impact of modern technology on our lives and it is likely to get even larger in the coming years.
