Since the mid ?90s, working from home has become an everyday part of modern employment practices in all major industrial countries. There?s increasing evidence that a similar revolution is underway in China. Most Chinese people actually got their first taste of working from home in 2003, when SARS struck, forcing office-goers to lock themselves up at home and connect with colleagues through the phone and Internet. The increasing mass application of new technologies such as VoIP and WiFi in recent years has only reinforced the status of the telecommute process as a real alternative.
