Regarding the question of mainstream, the word itself is useless, unless we're searching for some kind of external affirmation from the broader culture.
But I think most of us would agree that coworking spaces offer a high- quality alternative to traditional workspaces, home offices and coffee shops. If "mainstream" means that coworking is made available to more people, then I'm all for it. Let's share the wealth. Someone I know who is in the commercial furniture business put it this way: back in the 70s, cubicles became the "dominant design" of workspaces. And that happened for a number of reasons, many of them positive at the time. Now that cubicle farms are in serious decline, what will be the dominant design (or designs) of the future? I'd like to think that coworking (or some descendant of coworking) has a good shot at filling the gap. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
