This morning we got hit with half a foot of snow. When I walked out to my car the snow came up over my ankles. And then I had to clean off my windshield. Driving was a nightmare. I was lucky to even get out of the parking lot in my apartment complex. When I pulled onto the main street my wheels spun out while a car almost hit me.
Frankly, I would have just assumed stay home and work. Years ago, that wouldn’t have been an option for anyone working in a business where their employees needed access to traditional communication tools like business phones and fax machines.
But now, with technology making office work easier and easier and more and more convenient, there are options for businesses that want to allow their employees to work from home. Your typical office worker can work from home, call his or her customers through their inexpensive cell phone. They can contact their business associates through email. And now, thanks to fax to email, they can send their faxes through the Internet.
So if there had been another half foot, I could have avoided the drive and worked from home. And if needed I could send a fax to any of my customers through my home pc.
