Teleworking

Introduction

Everyone is not prepared to greet new and beautiful things. Compelling and frightening picture of economic disaster has drawn angry representatives of writing fraternity forward; perhaps they will be able to shake the fragile psyche of the crowd. Nevertheless, whatever the appearances Luddites of the present generation have about the dangers of technology, the abnormally inflated market value of hi-tech-companies, the speculative e-commerce, and the dangers of the Internet for individual reactionaries of atavistic fragments of feudalism -is all assumptions. The facts say: hi-tech has the right to exist. Rather, it won the right in a tough fight with hulking mastodons in addition to a leading position in the coming decades.
