CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNOLOGY IN

REMOTE WORKING

• (^) Technology has allowed work environments to become more flexible and customizable.
• (^) One of the most helpful technologies for seamless remote work is video conferencing. Live video feeds help out-of-office workers see and speak to one another in real-time, anywhere with an internet connection, which is the next best thing to a face-to-face meeting. But this capability wouldn’t be possible without the widespread broadband internet adoption of the past 10 to 15 years.

H OW T E CH N OLOGY T RA NSF ORME D RE MOT E W ORK

• (^) 1975: The first “personal” computer is introduced. Employees are finally able to work remotely outside of the office and eventually get to take their work on-the-go with a laptop or tablet.
• (^) 1990: The internet is born and the World Wide Web helps connect remote workers with email and virtual office tools.
• (^) 2000s: Wireless internet and broadband open the floodgates. Remote employees can finally work without being tied to a physical location for their ethernet internet connection. This also makes slow speeds from dial up internet a bad memory of the past.
• (^) 2002: LinkedIn launches and connects millions of professionals across the globe. You can still network with old friends or coworkers, reach out to potential employers, and follow your favorite companies to see what’s new on this professional platform boasting 562 million users across 200 countries and territories

• (^) 2004: Virtual meeting software GoToMeeting (GTM) helps employees “meet” in a virtual conference room to share presentations, files, and brainstorm together. GTM currently has 2 million active daily users
• (^) 2012: Google introduces its suite of office tools and digital file storage, known as Google Drive. This becomes the modern day workspace where employees, both in-house and remote, access important documents and files while also collaborating and giving feedback in real time.
