home-development

Hi,

Do you all think that working from home is the wave of the future for software development?

In this day and age it seems like a logical next step for software developers to work from their homes and connect to each other using IM, video chat and phone. Etc, etc...

What forces are in action pushing software development in this direction? What forces are keeping more people from working remotely?
