Working nine to five? How the notions of work and play have ceased to apply in a networked world.
My office is wherever i’m sat these days. On the train, at home, in a building called ‘work’, on site with clients, occasionally on a plane or (as regular readers know) in many coffee shops. Both geographical and temporal boundaries … Continue reading
