Characterize the major problems that these persons have! I personally am in a position to use my computer by being "home alone". I work from home almost 100 percent of the time. We have a small office where there are computers, a library, and some people. And we have bi-weekly meetings. The biggest challenges I run into working from home is the lack of community and mentoring that exists in my job. As a programmer, I think that mentoring and collaborative work is very improtant, so this aspect is difficult for me. 5)Describe briefly some new innovative technologies that you can think of which would address these problems! More than anything this a problem with the structure of the company and I am not sure that Technology can solve everything, especially when it comes to home offices. Assignment 14
