The reason I opened this topic is because from what I'm noticing, like Steve and Angel mentioned, co-working spaces seems to grow within specific industries. The costs of starting a web start up are extremely low and co-working spaces add to that reality which is great - but I think co-working should go beyond laptops - printing and WIFI
If we move to industries where large spaces and high noise level is common it's not an ideal space for someone who's working on a logo or web site. for example the music industry where 'jamming sessions' are a form of co-working. basically I'm asking wouldn't co-working benefit by having co-working spaces ORIENTED not exclusive but created in a space that is going to serve a specific genre Again I don't claim any expertise but I see the need of those creation hubs in many industries besides technology Thinking out loud I see a need in the music business, movie business and something a little on the edge such as skateboard design I know some spaces cater to those needs would love to see more What do you guys think?
