Professor Gupta

More and more people can work remotely on portable electronic devices rather than in a dedicated office. These workers often have more flexibility regarding when and where they work, allowing them to become what are known as “digital nomads”—that is, workers who travel regularly and work from different locations, both inside and outside their own countries. Do you think digital nomadism is likely to continue increasing? Why or why not?

Claire

While digital nomadism does offer unparalleled freedom, it's important to note that it heavily relies on strong Internet connectivity. This requirement can significantly limit the destinations one can choose to work from, so digital nomadism probably won't increase globally as much as some people think.

Paul

While Claire makes a good point, Internet technologies and speed are always improving, so I think digital nomadism will continue to grow. Why work in a stuffy city office building just so you can afford to travel to someplace beautiful once or twice a year when you could work from such places all year round?
