> why one need to be physically present anywhere in 2017? Because there is still merit to sitting face to face with people sometimes. Not all the time, sure, but sometimes. Also, not everyone works the same as everyone else, and sometimes people need to interact differently. I work remote primarily, but still get value out of my onsite times, just a different value than when I'm sitting at home working on a computer. Even in IT, there is value in sitting with someone and looking them in the eye for a few minutes, or holding two markers to a whiteboard.
