Yes, for white collar work like marketing, Education, shopping, graphic design accounting, programming, secretary and filling out forms work, invoices, etc.
But, for blue collar jobs like Heavy lifting, grocery stores, fixing hardware, cooking, serving, delivering packages can only be done at the job sites since teleportation is not possible yet.
Buying expensive purchases like houses, and cars will mostly be done offline since people like to feel and try expensive stuff before buying. Though, I read some millionare bought a 30 million doller Private Jet online.
Plus, Law since you wouldn't want to be disconnected while talking to a judge since the judge probably be impatient and it won't be a good idea to anger a judge.
Employee will no longer have to commute to work, and the company will no longer need a huge building for housing the employees. The air won't be as smoggy and everyone saves money from saving on Energy or rent, property tax savings.
But, what is holding online working from home from happening for some companies are trust issues. Like, the emplotyee might be at home playing video games or go out shopping and the manager can't reach him cuz his cell is off. Plus, Broadband internet is not available in some places.
