Impact of ICT on working practice
Teleworking means employment at home. It involves work that has to be done with a computer. You have to communicate with the workplace by phone, fax or modem.
Advantages: The advantages of Teleworking are that it reduces travel time and cost, you can work flexible hours and also have a much better balance of work and family life. So you can have a more relaxed life style and do work in a better environment.
Working from home will mean that you can spend a lot more time with your family and choose the times that you want to work. Also working at home means that you won’t have to spend time and money get to work meaning you will save money which is a benefit.
Disadvantages: Communities are a group of people living in a particular local area. These communities with internet access can shop around, bank and buy things online without having to leave their home. This means that the local shops and businesses that are based near them are losing money and business forcing them to close down which is unfortunate for the people that don’t have internet. This is unequal access because the people that don’t have the access to internet resources cannot do the same meaning that if shops and business’s close down they will have to travel much further to get the essential things they need in an everyday life.
