“They’re Working on Their Own, Just Side by Side”

This article describes a recent trend in workspaces across the country where freelance writers and tech specialists coming together to share a single workspace. Brad Nuberg is attributed with the new phenomenon and coined the word “coworking” to describe it. Basically, people rent workspaces in large open areas, mainly lofts. I think this is a really interesting concept and shows the portability of the world that we live in. As a journalism major, I’ll really only need two things in my career: a laptop with the internet and word and a cell phone. In the internet driven world, it’s easy to feel disconnected from true humanity. It’s nice to see people actually wanting to be around people.
