Nomadic Lifestyle
There has been a sea change in the way Nomads relate to time and place – today, Connectivity ( to the Internet, Cellular networks, Facebook and Twitter to add to the list…) and not motion is crucial, as was in the past. Telecommuting, back end work, Knowledge Process Outsourcing, Cisco’s Telepresence or for that matter, the every- person’s affordable Skype, has changed the landscape the way we work and live.
IP address has taken on a great significance – and taking that to unbelievable business heights is CISCO that is designing smart grids and cities using the backbone of Internet.
It’s every day’s routine to receive emails with a cryptic “ sent from my Blackberry or iPhone” – with no relation to definition of physical space. Twitter is catching up like wild fire and between them and FB, a large population of the world is living or “maintaining” their ”social” life.
In all this, privacy will be an issue – for when we are switching much of our lifestyle to a digital platform, Google and Bing will pull up whatever is out there in that global database. These will push limits of what is okay and what is not. I guess, time will tell how we deal with this issue.
As for now, enjoy the benefits of this Nomadism and live in a “ global” community.
