The Digital Nomad

from the all-work-all-the-time-from-anywhere dept

The LA Times is talking about the increasing trend of digital nomads. With cell phones, wireless modems, pagers, and laptops, people can (and do) work from anywhere at any time. So, there are a number of people who are always working and always on the go. I think it's easy to blame the technology for the downsides of this, but it's really up to the people to figure out how to balance their lives the way they want to. If they're happy, then that's great for them.

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

    Workaholics?

    I find it pretty funny how people label always working as a bad thing! I'm always working in one way or another and I've always got my Palm, laptop and mobile on me just in case I have to do any business stuff. Umm... on the other hand I may just be one a workaholic but I enjoy it!
