The Analyst

I picked up a financial analyst from the airport, a couple of months ago. She was a well-dressed, sharp, attractive woman in her mid-50s.

She was moving from Dallas to a small village in rural Tennessee. She would be living on the edge of town, next to forest and a most charming, wild setting.

Her daughter and only child chose to stay in the Dallas area.

This woman worked for a firm, and worked from home full time, but was in constant contact all day long with other members of her firm, all over the country. Living in Tennessee, and telecommuting did not hurt her productivity at all.

The virtual revolution, with its instantaneous ability to connect us to others, anywhere in the world, allows people to live and work anywhere, close or remote.
