Penelope Trunk is a columnist at the Boston Globe and Yahoo! Finance. She suggests that in the near future things will change.

The end of office life

People will work from home, from their friends’ homes, from the beach, all the time. The need to have a home office will decrease because Generation Y will never really learn how to work 9 to 5 in an office anyway. They grew up blending homework and friends while they multi-tasked in their bedroom, and once they enter the workforce, they extend this behavior to everywhere — work life and home life will be blended in a way that makes each more rewarding.

We can already see a growing movement of mobile jobs where people can work at any time they choose from any location. Think back to NBC’s recently run feature of an entire large sized office where all employees were excused in order to work from anywhere they wished and only come in for meetings.
