In some professions, such as designing, translating and computer programming, telecommuting is now passible. People can work at home for some-or-all-of the week and communicate by computer, telephone and faxes. An advantage of this is that it saves them from the stress of commuting to the workplace. It also allows them to plan their own time. On the other hand. it is difficult for some people to focus on work when they are at home. The refrigerator. TV and their children often distract them.

There are always consequences to a medical breakthrough. Take the example of the birth control pill, which became available in the 1960s and is now "old news".

It contributed to enormous social change worldwide. Has this been a good thing? The answer reflects each person’s religion, culture and personal value.
