Telecommuting is for people whose jobs do not require working in an office - and is more convenient working in the comfort of their own home. It can also be a very good solution to the problem of travelling long distances, through rush-hour traffic, to t
he office.
For example, a journalist will find it easier to create their report at home where they can collate the information they have gathered together in an environment free from the business and pressures of office life. They can write their article and send i
t to the newspaper or publisher via a telecommunications line in time for the deadline.
