Home workers' unique blend of personal and professional technology needs makes them a tech-savvy and potentially lucrative segment of the consumer market for service providers, PC and device manufacturers, and software vendors.

These consumers already engage regularly with connected technology and crave more. Consumer product strategists should take note and adjust their strategy to accommodate this highly advanced consumer segment.
