The present paper elaborates on the prospective developments of teleworking, as these relate to the dynamics of ICTs developments. The paper presents various types of teleworking applications, linked to the evolving potential of technological developments; then discusses the evolving patterns of teleworking, followed by emerging trends and applications appearing at a macro and micro level with their prospective impacts; and finally it explores the implications of teleworking on the restructuring of the social patterns.
