For work, modems were sufficient as emails were more text based and companies used mid-range and /or mainframes with customized software that were text based. With these systems, slightly faster ISDN were sufficient for multi-users applications like airline ticketing. Thereafter, modems allow multiplayer games to be played online. Also, unknown to many, there were even PCMCIA modems that could connect to mobile phones to remotely connect back to office. While we have Google Home and Amazon Alexa now, in 1996, technology was already available to command the computer using voice for surfing web and dictation. Last time the whole family is fighting over the telephone line. When me and my brother is using the computer surfing netscape, if my mother wanna call using the telephone, we will run to her and beg her not to call for a while more! hahahah. Then she lan lan go down to find her friend instead of calling. hahaha. lucky her friend are all nearby only. hahaha ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. Employees point of view surely dont see any problems with wfh, but employers point of view, not all support wfh unless no choice like now. If got choice, most employers still prefer employees to be physically in the office, whether got work to do or not still must appear in the office. Lol. That's the wrong deduction Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many people have been going back to office most of the days or everyday. Cause garment announced phase 3 ma, so means “no more” covid liao. 😂 So now they announced wfh shall remain default arrangement, so dont know how many companies would follow?

Didu Supercharged April 29, 2021 Share April 29, 2021 I knew this day would arrive. I just received instruction from my boss to start WFO one day per week. I guess it's better than loosing the job to a FT that's allowed to WFH overseas. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
