FLEXIBLE ARRANGEMENTS GROW A new MIT study found
that by 2010, traditional full-time employment will be the
exception. "Fluid work practices" are expected to become
the norm as a booming Internet economy increasingly demands
speed, innovation and flexibility. Study leaders say workers,

"Me-Commerce" revolution will benefit both the businesses
and workers who are prepared for it.
