Today, on Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day, I am again keeping my children at home.

Why? Because the “typical” work environment is now atypical – no longer wholly housed within a company cubicle’s four walls. Employees are stepping out by staying at home, teleworking from fully equipped home-based offices, as I have been doing for the past 17 years. But today’s teenagers – dubbed the “I-Generation” for their addiction to everything digital, from iPods to IM (instant messaging) – are receiving mixed messages about how, when and where they can expect to effectively balance their future careers and family lives.

Two months have passed since Tara Erfanian swapped her morning commute for breakfast with her husband, her high gas bills for more pocket money and her afternoon drive home for an hour of relaxing yoga.

But two months is all Erfanian needed to learn to love her new lifestyle.

And she isn’t the only one.

Everybody with a laptop and the ability to dream has likely thought sometime that working at home would be a great way to beat those commuting blues, keep in touch with the kids and still manage to climb the corporate ladder.

It’s called telework — the ability to work away from your office using a little modern technology, yet still be as productive and effective.
