Once remote working has been around long enough we'll probably see the rise of new social constructs that fill the void the office as the "second place" is leaving behind.
The office was a crappy "second place" anyways.
- SoftTalker 4y agoBefore office work was the norm, what was this "second place?" Churches, probably? Taverns?
- iamstupidsimple 4y agoThose are 'third places'. The workplace was always the second place.
- yosito 4y agoChurches, pubs, town squares
- giaour 4y agoCoffeehouses, clubs (the kind Victorian gentlemen spent all day in), workshops for craftsmen
- Avicebron 4y agoI've always though those victorian clubs were pretty interesting, at least theyre portrayed in things like sherlock holmes, the old "adventure clubs" focused on exploring the world, north pole, antartica..etc
- marcosdumay 4y agoThe office + factory duo have been around for so long that many societal constructs don't exist anymore. I think the most common "second place" would be called "the neighborhood" nowadays.
- bell-cot 4y agoFields, pastures, village squares. A small boat if you happened to be a fisherman.
- throwaways85989 4y agoI already can imagine some versions. For example, the journeyman were one visits various "experts" to become a better craftmans - traveling from home to home. The forming of conference-clusters, were digital nomadic workers meet up at some place by tradition to jam and work on something, like a conference without the conference hall. I can also imagine community, who specialize in a particular field. Like a suburb, dedicated to database optimization. Or have some programming group in the park or on a train. If you are free from social constraints and locations- all it takes is good internet.
