Virtual Branches

Do you think this is funny?

While this cartoon may stretch a generous smile on your face, a growing number of corporate slaves are starting to classify this strip as something that has been taken from an Alfred Hitchcock movie.

The advent of mobile computing has definitely contributed wonders to ordinary PC users. Unfortunately, corporations are getting the better deal out of “anywhere computing.” Wi-Fi and laptops have definitely extended the four corners of the office. With the mobile phone as an accomplice, the said developments in IT have put employees on a virtual leash.

The only benefit that mobile computing has given to workers is that they can now go home early. Of course, they have to bring their tasks with them. And with portable PCs becoming mainstream, bringing the office at home is as easy as having your coffee to go. Now every home is a virtual branch of a company.
