It sounds as though many lifestyle options that are becoming popular - telecommuting, homeschooling, and other options - lead to families spending more time together. Some have theorized that the industrial revolution, and the public schooling that came later, have caused problems for families. Once industry was taken out of the home and into factories, families were split up during the day. After that, children began to be sent to schools rather than learning at home. (There were always a few schools available to the very rich, but the majority of kids have always learned at home.)
What do these changes mean for families? Do you think that the number of people working from the home will continue to grow? How about the number of homeschoolers? Will our families be stronger because of this, or we will be more divided within society?
