Written by We have see a huge paradigm in the way we, certainly in the Western world, work over the last five years.
In fact in the last two years the types of Online Jobs has increased massively. The thesis of an internet business being something apart from “normal” work now seems luddite, online jobs and internet business has become the norm.There is no doubt that although traditional companies are still in the clear majority it is now acceptable both socially and in a business context to own, operate or just work for an Internet Business.
The concept that most of us struggle with is connecting the virtual world with the actual, aren’t they completely separate? Aren’t internet business opportunities really limited to theory focused services and eBay?
Actually no, with the progress in technology during the last few years, 3D printing is now a reality and, as the product lifecycle enters the maturity phase, the price of these machines is coming down to be within the grasp of small businesses.The technology to be able to make real things from virtual (software based) designs means that anybody can have what is in effect a factory in their back room. In theory this would allow production to be offered by those who Work From Home.
Think about that for a second .. as markets become more accessible, more people will be able to work from home, run their own internet business and online jobs will be the norm. Anybody will be to set up a tool making business for the home DIY market based on how they think tools should look. There will be small markets maybe, and probably not worrying to the big DIY stores but a marketplace nevertheless.
You may argue that not everybody has the abilities to run an internet business producing fabrication designs for manufacturing, and that is no doubt the case. However the team idea will work in the virtual world as well as it did in the early days of retailing in the real world. There will be an army of keen helpers who will help the internet business entrepreneurs, undoubtedly for free, in the same way as Linux was developed, or Wikipedia or any other of the open source mutual applications that are currently in expansion.
There is no doubt we will see, actually are seeing, an upsurge in the number of people who will work from home running an internet business and helping businesses who are providing online jobs for an increasing number of people. Once the mass of people appreaciate the power of linking real world production with virtual internet business then we will see another massive shift in the amount of people who work from home and have online jobs.
