Telework occurs when information and communications technologies (ICTs) are applied to enable work to be done at a distance from the place where the work results are needed or where the work would conventionally have been done. It includes:
Home-based telework or "telecommuting", when an employee or contractor works at home instead of travelling to an employer's or a customer's premises.

Mobile telework, when executives, professionals or service staffs using ICTs to enable them to spend more time with customers and to deliver "on the road" a range of services and capabilities that previously would have involved office based staff or visits to the company offices
Telecentres, providing local office facilities for people who prefer not to work at home but wish to avoid the cost, time and inconvenience of commuting;
Telecottages, which provide local communities with access to skills development, high performance ICTs, and the networking and socialisation aspects of work that may be missed by a home based worker.

1877 The first telecommuter on record was a Boston bank president, who arranged to have a phone line strung from his office to his home in Somerville, Massachusetts. No one called it telecommuting back then. But it was smart business.
1963 A programmer working on the Arpanet project (the precursor of the Internet) in Santa Monica, California, reluctantly resigns from the project. His wife was experiencing a difficult pregnancy and was confined to bed; he needed to stay at home to care for her. A member of the project team suggested installing an extra phone line to the programmer's house, and letting him program from there using a teletype machine. The grateful father-to-be responded by putting in marathon 18-hour workdays from home. Both baby and project were delivered on time.
What is the history of telecommuting?

1978 Blue Cross/Blue Shield of South Carolina starts a "cottage keyer" project, showing 26% productivity improvement over in-office counterparts.1980 Mountain Bell started a telecommuting project for its managers and the U.S. Army launched a telecommuting pilot. Each year, more and more workers joined the ranks of telecommuters, often unofficially. Guerrilla telecommuting gained legitimacy as management saw that people working from home or from remote locations were among the most productive and loyal workers they had.early 80s Several telecommuting pilot projects were conducted, especially in California. Telecommuting consultants began to hang out their shingles, proof that telecommuting was here to stay.

By 1990, telecommuting projects are underway in a number of companies and governmental agencies in the U.S. Telecommuting spreads to Europe, Australia and Asia.
By 2000, most major U.S. corporations have significant numbers of teleworkers. Telecommuting is becoming mainstream.
