3. What is meant by "teleworking"?

Teleworking, also known as telecommuting, means using information technology and

telecommunications to replace work-related travel. Simple put, it means working at home or closer to home. With teleworking, employees work at home or perhaps at a local telework center one or more days per week. Communication is accomplished by phone, fax, modem, and teleconferencing. Nationwide, more than 20 million workers are going to work simply by picking up the phone or turning on their computers.
