Forget working in the office

This article discusses the reality that when it comes to working environments, a large majority of folks would prefer telecommuting - opting to work from home while in their pajamas, etc.  This is something I will touch on in my work document paper; as convenient as telecommuting is, one has to wonder of the impact it has on the actual work relationships that are nowadays carried mostly over hand-held devices and emails.  Most people send an email to someone is sitting a few cubicles away instead of 1)walking over or 2) picking up the phone.  The reality is that with today's technology (borderless IT) this is certainly where we are headed, but I am curious as to other experiences/opionions on this..is there anything that can fully replace face-to-face interactions?
