Doyle;
Well, I think podcasts suggest quite a bit. For example, why should
anyone come into the station to do their broadcast? I'm not saying
don't I'm saying examine the reason people come in to the station.
Certainly a lot of people could work remotely, but when people don't
come into work places then the nature of the work place is transformed.
It suggests that a form of the space (most contemporary work spaces)
is not used for community purposes. In other words work spaces have
arbitrary structures applied to them for work era. What's with
security door passes? If one works remotely what is there in the
building that can't be shared? Why not throw the doors open? Why not
concentrate on a community center?
This idea is kicking around in the remote working population and
cooperative work spaces are springing up that redefine what we mean by
work space and it's community roots. It suggests that working
remotely could redefine community on multiple levels. Ending the
corporatist hegemony over defining the community.
thanks,
Doyle Saylor
