Giant corporations are taking a hard look at what's happening with regards to the percentage of the workforce who are now quite capably working from home; in the future this will become commonplace, and the ripple effect will be incredible. Less traffic, fewer parking spots needed, less commercial office space needed, support businesses like lunch restaurants and fast food, coffee shops, dare I say pubs, will evolve to meet a different consumer demand, neighborhoods will evolve - more shops and businesses within walking distance to meet the needs of a workforce that telecommutes but still needs to buy things like pet supplies and hardware
Who knows, the population as a whole might just become fitter and healthier?
