The terms "telecommuting" and "telework" were coined by Jack Nilles in 1973, and originally meant a work arrangement in which employees do not commute to a central place of work. A person who telecommutes is known as a "telecommuter", "teleworker", and sometimes as a "home-sourced," or "work-at-home" employee. However in this new virtual world we live in, the term "telecommuting" has now taken on a slightly different meaning. It now generally referrers to a traditional job, where you have to be in a reasonable area from the company in which you may need to go to from a few times throughout your career to a few times a week.
