Cairncross?

Although Cairncross’s view on home-office intermixing holds some truth in light of the newfound ability to work at home via the internet, the office still remains the principle workplace. Among her other various predictions, Frances Cairncross anticipated that with the advancement of the Internet and other forms of telecommunication, the office would not only find its way into the home, but would somehow become intermixed with it. She believed that the home would become a place of work, and the office a place of rest and recreation. Cairncross’s views were undoubtedly backed by the then-current advancement of the internet in the late 20^th century which gave the typical American worker the opportunity to accomplish at home what could formerly be done only at the workplace. This created a great desire to master the internet. 

However, it can be seen that, in spite of technological advancements which make working at home easier, the average American still prefers to keep the home a separate entity from the office.
