This is a really interesting question because I think the definition of a home office has changed quite a bit.

In North America, there was a period in the 80s and 90s where the Desktop PC was very much a shared device. You'd have it sitting somewhere like the living room or basement, maybe near the TV, you'd have a landline phone next to it, etc.

I think a lot of families had those, but it's very different from the idea of a "home office" where you have a separate/isolated work room.
