How digital nomadism moved from hacker spaces to crypto coworking
One of the first modern coworking spaces, C-Base in Berlin, was launched 30 years ago by a group of computer engineers as a “hacker space” in which to share their tech and techniques. Similarly, many of the people we first encountered in our anthropological research into the emerging world of digital nomadism in the mid-2010s were hackers and computer coders. Nearly a decade later, we returned to Chiang Mai to see what had happened to these pioneers of the borderless, desk-free life.
The evolution of digital nomadism: from hi-tech hacker spaces to crypto co-working
ONE of the first modern co-working spaces, C-Base in Berlin, was launched 30 years ago by a group of computer engineers as a “hacker space” in which to share their tech and techniques. Indeed, many of the people we first encountered in our anthropological research into the emerging world of digital nomadism in the mid-2010s were hackers and computer coders. Nearly a decade later, we returned to Chiang Mai to see what had happened to these pioneers of the borderless, desk-free life.

How The PGA of America Made a Big Mistake - And How It Should Correct It
Opinion article by Dave Cook I write this article with a sad and broken heart. I traveled all over the country for 24 years as a major Diverse Supplier for The PGA of America. When I started working golf, the only Black workers were cutting grass, cleaning the bathrooms, and washing dishes. I started selling drinks and pretzels in 1994 for the PGA as a Minority Partner with Restaurant Associates.
Remote working: How a surge in digital nomads is pricing out local communities around the world
Recent estimates put the number of digital nomads from the US alone at 16.9 million, an increase of 131 percent from pre-pandemic year 2019. But is this trend and its related activities—such as more professional short-term landlords—pricing local people out of their homes? For eight years, I have studied digital nomadism, the millennial trend for working remotely from anywhere around the world. I am often asked if it is driving gentrification.
Digital nomads' surge takes its toll on local communities world over
London (The Conversation): For eight years I have studied digital nomadism, the millennial trend for working remotely from anywhere around the world. I am often asked if it is driving gentrification. Before Covid upended the way we work, I would usually tell journalists that the numbers were too small for a definitive answer. Most digital nomads were travelling and working illegally on tourist visas. It was a niche phenomenon. Three years into the pandemic, however, I am no longer sure.

When digital nomads come to town: governments want their cash but locals are being left behind – podcast
Digital nomads who work as they travel are often attracted by a life of freedom far removed from the daily office grind. Many head to cities that have become known hotspots for remote workers.

Digital nomads want to replace the nation state-is there a darker side to this quest for global freedom?
A 'network state' is ideologically aligned but geographically decentralized. The people are spread around the world in clusters of varying size, but their hearts are in one place.

What the great work from home experiment has taught us about the way we work
This is a transcript of episode 8 of The Conversation Weekly podcast, The great remote work experiment – what happens next? In this episode, four experts dissect the impact a year of working from home has had on employees and the companies they work for – and what a more hybrid future might look like. And we talk to a researcher who asked people to sit in bath tubs full of ice cold water to find out why some of us are able to stand the cold better than others. NOTE: Transcripts may contain errors.
The great remote work experiment - what happens next? Podcast
In this episode of The Conversation Weekly, four experts dissect the impact a year of working from home has had on employees and the companies they work for – and what a more hybrid future might look like. And we talk to a researcher who asked people to sit in bathtubs full of ice-cold water to find out why some of us are able to stand the cold better than others. For many people who can do their job from home, the pandemic meant a sudden shift from office-based to remote working.
Work-life balance in a pandemic: a public health issue we can't ignore
Before the pandemic, a common objection to remote working was the suspicion that staff would disengage and productivity levels would drop. But recent evidence suggests the opposite is true — working from home effectively means working more. In the UK, for example, many employees are reportedly putting in an extra two hours a day.

Commentary: Self-discipline in work routines more critical than ever this year
LONDON: The economist John Maynard Keynes predicted in 1930 that the amount we work would gradually shrink to as little as 15 hours a week as technology made us more productive. Not only did this not happen, but we also began to spend extra time away from home due to commuting and suburban living patterns, which we often forget are recent historical inventions.

Remote-work visas will shape the future of work, travel and citizenship
During lockdown, travel was not only a distant dream, it was unlawful. Some even predicted that how we travel would change forever. Those in power that broke travel bans caused scandals. The empty skies and hopes that climate change could be tackled were a silver lining, of sorts. COVID-19 has certainly made travel morally divisive. Amid these anxieties, many countries eased lockdown restrictions at the exact time the summer holiday season traditionally began.
Remote-work visas will shape the future of work, travel and citizenship
Smaller countries have been competing for tourists for years. New remote work visas suggest they are now competing for citizens.

La Covid-19 force le télétravail. Une étude lève le voile sur ses risques cachés
Beaucoup d’entre nous n’ont pas le choix : ils doivent recourir au télétravail durant la pandémie du Coronavirus. Il y a à peine quelques jours, Google, Apple et Twitter défrayaient les manchettes en ordonnant à leurs employés de travailler à partir de la maison, mais c’est désormais bien des entreprises qui ont mis en place des mesures similaires. Quel que soit votre point de vue sur cette manière de travailler, il s’agit là d’une tendance lourde.
