The technology revolution has yet again taken ahold of present-day work ethics, with the birth and the usage of the new slang word "moof."

Standing for "mobile out of office", the term is known as an indication of a worker's capability to remain active with work, even outside the workplace.

The term was coined by 33-year old James McCarthy, who as a Microsoft UK business manager for the company's mobile software team, works from his home about two days every week.

In a website he and his colleagues established, he explains the conveniences and positive aspects of mobile working.

The website, moof.mobi, defines a "moofer" as a worker who is just as accessible outside the office as he is inside it. McCarthy explains that recent technological advancements have made it possible for workers to be productive even without being tied down to an actual office.

"People are thinking about how to work smarter and choosing to work from wherever makes sense," the Chicago Tribune quoted McCarthy.

Despite being coined in the U.K., the word, in terms of the practice it denotes, was reported as significantly evident in the American professional field.

Benjamin Kosnik, from Chicago, has adapted the out-of-office way of life for six of his ten years as a software engineer, traveling from one state to another, staying connected with his laptop through wireless reception.

"Sitting in the office and looking out the window, I though, 'Do I want to keep looking out the window a the world, or do I want to be in the world?'" Kosnik explained. "I wanted to be in the world."

McCarthy, however, was quoted in saying that moofing does have its own challenges.

"You can miss out on office connections and relationships," UPI quoted. "And some days, it can be difficult to concentrate, wherever you are located. Moofing doesn't always mean you'll be more productive at any one time."
