Working from the Road
from the crazy-people dept
Traffic in many metropolitan areas is getting worse, but people might not be as upset about it as they used to be. With all the distractions a new car provides a driver, many are much happier about sitting in traffic. Yes, it sounds silly. I think it's scary. There are all sorts of stories in the article about people who work while in traffic. They set up laptops and cell phones and claim they can concentrate more on work while in traffic than at the office. They claim this is true because there's nothing else to do while driving. That's funny, because I thought the act of driving is what the person was supposed to be concentrating on. Maybe I'm just bitter because I just narrowly missed getting absolutely destroyed by a little sports car driving at least 65 on a 30 mph road that didn't even slow down for a stop sign. Maybe the driver was just working away...
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
