You spend 8 hours a day working. Why would you want to be isolated from other people? Some people (myself very definitely included) need some regular isolation. Talking to people all day at work leaves me very poorly prepared to deal with my family when I get home. The idea that I can lock myself away and do productive stuff is awesome (although in practise, a lot of remote work isn't actually that isolating). As a kid you go to school you are around people School is the last place on earth I'd want to model my working environment on (although the open office advocates seem to be trying).
