Essay / Research Paper Abstract
In this well-argued 6 page paper, the point is made that tele-commuting does little more for women than keep them at home-- where they were a century ago. Women who work from their home office/computer are expected not only to handle corporate business from 9 - 5, they are also usually expected to take care of household affairs and even to raise children during the same time. This stands in contrast with men who cyber-commute but who are not expected to do anything other than work during the course of the business day. Various other relevant ethical issues are discussed and it is ultimately concluded that women have very little to gain in today's workplace. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

spend time with his family the women finds herself having to juggle unwanted household chores and child-raising duties while completing important projects via computer. And while some might argue in
retort that the grass is always greener on the other side, it seems remarkably evident from the reading that women affected by todays new technologies have no grass fields
at which to stare. An interesting point that Zimmerman makes is that women are being exploited. The author describes in great detail how female employees
have fewer worthwhile technologically-based jobs available to them than do their male counterparts. Computers are generally not as great of an interest to females and quite often they are even
afraid of them (Urschell, 1996). Consequently, in a rapidly-changing world of technology, there are less and less attractive jobs available to women. Almost without even doing so consciously, the corporate
