Last year I was laid up with double pneumonia for six weeks and if it hadn't been for telecommuting from my bed I'd have lost one very important contract. Taking things a step further, the PEBBLES project (Providing Education By Bringing Learning Environments to Students) in New York state have are helping hospitalised children keep up with their studies by using robot surrogates to attend classes.

Now if they could just develop an office model that can be delivered by taxi, I'd never have to change out of my pyjamas again.
