What's inside?
Remote work, once considered a luxury, is now an essential element of work.
Recommendation
In his 1973 book The Telecommunications-Transportation Tradeoff, Jack Nilles, a former NASA engineer, coined the terms “telework” and “telecommuting.” Back then, his idea seemed futuristic and quixotic. Nilles promised that remote work would improve traffic congestion and quality of life. Fast-forward 50 years and Nilles’s vision has finally manifested: Anybody with a PC and an internet connection can work remotely. While traffic is still an issue in major cities, if this report by Buffer, Remote OK and Nomad List is any indication, most workers agree that remote work improves quality of life.
