Wireless communication is changing the way people work, live, love and relate to places – and each other, according to an article by Andreas Kluth in the April 10, 2008, issue of The Economist.
Urban nomads do business, work and learn using wi-fi in cafés and other friendly locations. They are early adopters, empowered by laptops, Blackberries, and iPhones.
Kluth, who is based in San Francisco, has done an excellent job of describing these nomads –people like you and me, people who are always connected to each other and the world through the latest techology.
Andreas and I exchanged e-mails about his article on a Sunday afternoon. I'm assuming that he was sitting at a sidewalk café in San Francisco (one of my favourite cities), answering e-mails and reading blogs. I was at home watching a western Canadian blizzard in action, answering e-mails and reading blogs.
Enjoy the article. It would go well with a cup of fine coffee at your local Starbucks.
