Telecommuting is a form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices For employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the
location of the computer is of no consequence If the machine can communicate over telephone lines,
when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8,7 million telecommuters But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago Why hasn’t telecommuting become more popular ?
Clearly, change simply takes time But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many
managers These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed,
thereby complicating the manager’s responsibilities
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to accept the
opportunity Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office

Marianne Moore (1887-1972) once said that her writing could be called poetry only because there was no other name for it Indeed her poems appear to be extremely compressed essays that happen to be printed in jagged lines on the page Her subjects were varied: animals, laborers, artists, and the craft of poetry From her general reading came quotations that she found striking or insightful She included these
in her poems, scrupulously enclosed in quotation marks, and sometimes identified in footnotes Of this practice, she wrote, "Why many quotation marks?" I am asked When a thing has been so well that it could not be said better, why paraphrase it? Hence, my writing is, if not a cabinet of fossils, a kind of collection of flies in amber." Close observation and concentration on detail and the methods of her poetry Marianne Moore grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri, near St Lois After graduation from Bryn Mawr College
in 1909, she taught commercial subjects at the Indian School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania Later she became a librarian in New York City During the 1920’s she was editor of The Dial, an important literary

Imagist movement From that time on her poetry has been read with interest by succeeding generations
of poets and readers In 1952 she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her Collected Poems She wrote
