I think that many people in the future will work from home, and more money will become digital.
I already use all digital money. I work from home.. get the money transfered to my paypal account.. then transfered to my bank account... then I use my debit card to by things...
The only time ti take out cash, is when I need to buy something that is cash only. But more and more places are taking debit and credit cards.
I think this enables people to work from home.. and have their own home based businesses... What do you think?
let me know.

I'm not sure. with the way the world is changing, I think alot more people will lose jobs due to robots taking over. I think alot of people will try to work from home. I have yet to find anything that replaces a real jobs income though. I only make about four thousand a year, working online from home.

I think robots can't think well enough.
They are good for some things, but not for critical thinking, I still think humans have the best abilities for most jobs.
Other than that, I think that making money from home is really cool, and I really like it.

I think more and more people will be working from home, but not all there are far to many jobs that a person has to be present for. Myself I am hoping to one day work from home. But I do not think it is easy to do , finding a company that will earn what I need to survive seems pretty impossible to me right now. But it sure will be nice, when I do finaly find that job. Also, the all digital money kinda scarys me, so right now I do not have a CC or Debt.Card. I kinda like it that way.

Maybe more people will work from home in the future, but still i dont think everyone will be. there are still a lot of jobs that requires a person to be present at their workplace.
If this happens, it might be not in the very near future where all transactions are done over the internet where people dont have to leaver their homes. I am saying this cause not too many people are wired to the net, for example, in the Philippines.. though DSL is cheaper now and is bundled with phone lines, not many families can afford it.

With all the job loss thats going on and the poor state of the economy, working at home would be the smartest and safest way to go so i do think it will become more popular

I think that the job will be different for the future than today. But more people will tend to work at home via the net. Such as the designer, accountant, writer etc. They don't have to work in the office all the time. It's fine for them to use computer and get online to work.

I'm not really sure that the probability would be more than 50 percent. perhaps there would still be 50 versus 50 percent. as I realize that there are some jobs that need the workers to present at the working place. Robots might replace some workers but I don't think there will happen so soon.
for example, like the nurses in hospitals, they still have to present at the hospitals, or the patients' houses. and the army, I don't have idea if there is any possibility that any force would enable the work to get done at each people's home. and not to mention that we can't transfer ourselves to other country by teleporter machine yet. :P
also, the governmentship. from the net, perhaps, but how about some political affairs that still need face to face meeting for some private investigation, and I don't think that placing your signature digitally would be authentic for some documents or pacts, but if there is any new way to authenticate any document without signature or seal or stamp, perhaps it could be. :)

think about it, not everyone could work from home, because how would you shop, people would have to deliver the items, and package them, and a lot of people dont want to work from home! lol
I would love to work from home, i think its miles better =]
Also i think that a lot more people will start to,

Yes i think in the future everyone will work from home or net.Nowadays people are working at home to get extra income.in the future they may work full time and collect cheques from paypal.One advantage is they can work at their own time with no boss to supervise them.They can avoid the crowds outside.

Be your own boss! This notion is getting popular among those who wish to earn dollar by working from home. There are many companies offer so many programmes that we can take part actively. What you need to do that is a computer unit with internet connection. Americans are very lucky because they have wide opportunities to get involved in this dynamic trends. They even could quit their odd jobs, say bye to boss or even get the boss fired! Internet is becoming an industry with the scale of billion dollar omzet! So why dont you grab it?

I think it will definately become more popular, with this highly technological age we are living in it is a possibility. I would love to work from home, it is more relaxing and flexible.

I think a lot more people will be working more from home in the future than they are now. But, I don't think the world is ready to have everyone work at home. I work in a library and I have to be present at my job everyday because it is a service job. Most service jobs will require people to work away from home most of the time. But, I can see if I still worked Data Entry that I would either work at home, or work at home a couple of days a week.

Well, its a too common thing that people are working from Home. but that is a side income, and unless you earn through computers only - like become a software engineer or something, you would surely need money from your primary task. Internet thing don't pay so much and its not like people will work just from home.
But surely, people will take a lot of time for Internet money, spare their business time and family time too to earn alittle bit money from Internet.
This thing is quite variable since we don't know what more Internet has in the stock in future...there might be better oppurtuninties to earn online. And its really funny that we would just start to earn ONLY on net. Yeah, we have been working out of home from years...and just then, switching to ONLY internet is just something very weird (and amazing too!)

Well I think we are nearly become all in digital but I am not sure if they will let so many people working from home. There so many thing to do out in the offices digital they will used but they will not exchange what they earn now from what they will going to earn at home we all want to have business at home but if we are lack of capital to use in our business then how can we start owning even a small business at home. We are now using debit card, credit card we used the to pay bills and buy something for our personal needs but making money in the inter net is not a sure earning w sometime made it here but more on nothing. Like me I was in home base business but I put up capital to start it.

This could be a big possibility since the internet have made a big change in our life. It has brought convenience to our everyday living. But this will not eliminate the usual things that people do, like paying in actual cash and all those stuff. There are also people who cannot afford to get credit cards, like in our county, mos t especially if your income is low, then it would really be difficult to obtain a credit card since they have to assess carefully your annual income before approving your credit card.
