The History of Remote Work

We’ve gone a long way since the first “digital nomad” Steve Roberts in 1983 rode on a computerized recumbent bicycle. He was then featured in the Popular Computing magazine as he embarked on a 1,400 miles journey while still maintaining his writing career. He was using the first Model 100 to save all the articles on. Later, with the usage of the satellite system called Motosat, nomads were able to access the net and remote teams much easier.

Companies are increasingly embracing “remote, agile” teams to complete projects and meet deadlines, according to a study by the freelancing website Upwork as it becomes clear that working from home is not a detriment to productivity or employee engagement.

In a survey of 1,000 hiring managers, 55% agree that remote work among full-time employees is more common now, and say they expect up to 38% of their full-time workers will be working remotely in the next decade.

The contingent developments in distributed and decentralized technology will further favor the spreading of digital nomadism. Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain are growingly becoming a main field of work for location independent programmers, developers, content managers.

The global movement is growing fast and although sometimes it’s difficult to keep up with all the news and developments in the space, participation in meetings, conferences, gatherings of all sorts is always encouraged to feel the enthusiasm and connect with like-minded peers.
