Reaboi worried that the people able to drive the conversation about the shutdown--"information economy folks [who] are used to telecommuting and taking two weeks of vacation"--were disconnected from the very real struggles of people who need to physically be at their work.

"Some workers may be able to make arrangements with their employers, in consultation with their local health department, such as telecommuting, or other work arrangements where the individual would not be in close contact with other workers or the public," the New York Department of Health said.

Other research suggests that full-time telecommuting isn't the best move: A 2016 survey by the collaborative design firm Gensler found that the most innovative employees in the UK spent about 3.5 out of 5 workdays in the office, and worked remotely the rest of the time.

Researchers at Global Workplace Analytics, an organization focused on studying labor practices, and job site FlexJobs, analyzed data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and found that the number of workers telecommuting has increased by more than 115 percent since 2005.

A separate workforce study — also published recently by a flexible-hiring company, also in concert with an independent third party — reported that telecommuting is most common among management positions, with professional, scientific and technical services industries featuring the highest percentage of telecommuters relative to their share of the workforce.

The new version is still basically an iPad on a scooter but it's got better stability to traverse rough terrain, can go 80 percent faster at 1.6 miles per hour when in "power drive" mode, and has an optional add-on camera kit that increases the telecommuting driver's field of vision.

Remember that your options may not be tied to your locale: As Mr. Acuff noted, telecommuting is far more common than it was a generation ago, and your background in the tech sector may mean there are opportunities to reposition your current skills for a remote gig (or set of gigs).

A new study by George Mason University's Donald Boudreaux and SUNY-Purchase College's Liya Palagashvili—published by my employer the Mercatus Center—predicts that such rules will lead to fewer hours worked, lower salaries, increased portions of income subject to tax, a less flexible work environment (goodbye telecommuting!), or some combination of these.

So it could be that all of this use of telecommuting technologies and communication gear may be pointing to the readiness for more wholesale reorganization of offices that may well put more pressure on not just workers in more routine, traditionally automatable occupations, but more professional ones, I think, are very real possibility.

"In the past few years, there's been a lot of employee interest in perks that offer greater control over where and when work is done, such as flexible schedules, compressed workweeks and telecommuting options," Paul McDonald, senior executive director for Robert Half tells CNBC Make It.

High Tech Inventors Alliance, a group formed earlier this month by eight major technology companies, said in an amicus brief that the court should hear Cray Inc's emergency appeal of a ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Rodney Gilstrap in Marshall, Texas that he can hear a patent case against the company because one of its telecommuting employees resides within the jurisdiction.
