Roughly ten years ago I hoped that within ten years technology and culture
were mature (even in my country) for me to remotely work most of the time.
My hope was tightly bound to my desire to move out to the countryside.
This didn't happen, partially because I live in a country that is
conservative in the wrong way, partially because I admit that for the kind
of work I'm doing technology is not mature enough. But I know many people
who remotely work for a substantially high amount of time. Perhaps it's
still matter of time, and I'll be able to remotely work for my 50's...
So I was really surprised in reading that at Yahoo! the CEO allegedly
decided to kill the remote work option, so employees who do it will be
forced to use their desktop at the corporate or go away:

The rationale seems to be a cultural one, not a technical one, so I'm even
more surprised. I wonder whether there is a trend inversion in the USA, or
this is just a one-of-a-kind case.
