"You can also use technology to complement humans, making them more valuable. There’s a lot of evidence throughout history that complementing has been more important than substituting"https://t.co/FAOKk18ban pic.twitter.com/FKqN0L9XNP

“The people getting sick with covid are not wealthy people who can work from home and are probably getting vaccinated. The people who are getting sick are the people who have no choice but to leave their house and expose themselves to the virus at work.” https://t.co/mqcGAdHSMf

@TheDemocrats

Nearly 10% of Tennesseans live in areas without access to good broadband. Without internet, students can’t take online classes & some parents can’t work from home.

Senator Blackburn—broadband is infrastructure. Support the American Jobs Plan.

@mkobach

One of the lesser discussed benefits of remote work is that I get to wake up when the sun comes up and not rush my morning. I haven’t had to set my alarm in over a year.

@WillOremus

for a writer, the freedom to just slip offline into a private world for a bit (whether shower, weeding the garden, lying on your bed staring at the ceiling) and think things through is truly an underrated aspect of working from home. https://t.co/bln3ihgxeE

@bopinion

The pandemic forced employers to embrace flexibility in working location.

But flexibility of working hours is far from being the norm. As big firms encourage staff back to the office, pressure for adjustable work schedules could mount https://t.co/yv9znWUJkc

REMOTE WORK IS HERE TO STAY
Rory is explaining how, if 9 persons can make it to a physical meeting, and a single one can't, high probability the meeting will be on Zoom.
My example: In a meeting in Germany with 9 german speakers +1 nonTeutonic, the meeting will be in English. https://t.co/gdllQdkRLk

@AdamJKucharski

Can't remember who said it, but a good piece of advice from last year is that we shouldn't really think of it as simply 'working from home' - it's more 'getting through a pandemic'.

@DrDigiPol

In the 20th Century, the value of infrastructure was getting people TO their jobs.

In the 21st Century, with many working from home and where both parents typically work, child care, elderly care, broadband internet are essential infrastructure needed to allow people to work.

In the same way that the geographic story of the 2010's was SF/NY led early, and then second tier metros/suburbs outperformed later, this one will be leisure/vacation/remote work metros are leading early, urban/knowledge hubs will outperform later.

For Americans struggling to work from home with a choppy internet connection ...

For the kids finishing their homework in a fast food parking lot ...

For the rural small business owners unable to set up an online shop ...

Broadband is infrastructure.

While I appreciate the complexity of navigating a pandemic, so many decisions during this have been made seemingly from one view point. One where space wasn’t an issue & home was safe; one where working from home and access to digital currency was a given and internet available. https://t.co/apgCVGBkWT

Microsoft's long-awaited new webcam is here. It's not the USB-C 4K high-end webcam we expected, but instead it's a 1080p webcam designed for the remote work era. There's also a USB-C speaker launching, too. Details: https://t.co/qc6g8PV0mb pic.twitter.com/2p3yJD8gek

Fear of missing out will drive workers back into the office. Working from home leaves them bereft of "useful updates, critical intel, and key connections," writes Andy Cohen, co-CEO of architecture giant Gensler. https://t.co/rm8jpnjqgZ via @BW

If you are an employer, give Work from Home.

If you are an employee, demand Work from Home.

Even if we are not moving towards a total lockdown, we need to follow the same stringent measures that we had during the first wave!

Remote work doesn't mean being stuck in isolation. What most people saw as #remotework during the pandemic is not what remote work is.

Conversation can only happen when we're 100% involved. Remote work makes this all that more important.

Checking notifications, perusing social media, and responding to email are the new conversation killers.

Go all-in on your conversations or choose to get all the way out.

I'm a big remote work fan, but I do wonder how much of my liking for home working is actually a dislike of commuting.

True graphic. What we’ve all been experiencing is not remote work. It’s prolonged remote isolation. Regardless of personal preferences for or against remote work. It should not be measured by the past year.
