The nine to five role. Satisfying? Perhaps. It used to be that working nine to five was the most “rewarding” choice for anybody wanting to provide a “good” standard of living for themselves and their family, but in the high-tech era many people are starting to Work From Home. Why is this so? I believe that it is due to the advancement in technology which has allowed the general public access to tools previously used in big companies by people with expert knowledge in those areas.
The creation of technologies such as the home computer and then the internet have increased the amount of people trying to make a living from companies that allow them to Work From Home. The ease of use of both the home computer and the internet, together with the numerous “new” resources available for people to use are a contributing factor in the increase in people working from home. This has shaped the work market where, as predicted, computers are progressively taking over the jobs that were once done manually.
How are people working from home? In many situations people are working from home using the Internet Business. The use of internet companies has of late increased due to the accomplishments of sites like Friends Reunited (which in 2005 sold for ?30,000,000) and Amazon (which was estimated to make in excess of $4.75 billion in 2008) along with to the increasing ease with which one can build a website. There are many websites devoted to providing people with information on how to set up and run an Internet Business, from the very initial stages (conception of an idea) to the very end stages (steady income and regular customers). This increasing ease with which internet and home businesses can be operated has contributed to many things. Mainly it has contributed to a desire for freedom from the “nine to five” and the rise in resources available to people on a day to day basis. This is along with the increasing use of home computers and the internet with the general public.
I mentioned before that computers are steadily taking over jobs that previously would have been done by hand. This is correct in many ways, but in current society computers cannot run themselves and although a website could be run by one person many people opt to employ people to keep the electronic system running well. This is so that optimization of the website can occur. The more people you have in control of the website, the better performance the website will provide and the less chance it has of crashing. This has lead to an growth in online jobs. What is an Online Jobs? An online job could be classed as many things but is mainly used to describe someone who either owns and manages an internet business or someone who maintains the running of said business. With equipment becoming more and more user friendly – the use of computers in the home rising hugely. Over the last five years online jobs have become a viable option as a career, often being favoured over sometimes boring and difficult jobs in an office. This is a natural progression in business, making more profit with considerably less human “output”, optimising the way within which organisations work.
