Hi there,

Why should telecommuting destroy the social side of work?  Surely the members
of a company could work together within a virtual enviroment.  Consider the
architect of the future who virtually commutes to his offices on a daily 
basis.  His office complex includes his working rooms where he constructs his
designs straight off in full size.  His work colleagues can join him on the
site and make suggestions/critiscisms about his construction.  

He could enjoy all the aspects of a daily routine, and filter out those that
he would prefer not to simulate.  For instance he may like to keep those
intimate photo-copier room moments,  but remove that regular trip to the
coffee vending-machine that always requires so much physical work.

I think that a Virtucommute would improve a lifestyle tremendously and not
reduce it.
