Berlin this morning in a wireless spot.<\/p>\n
The meme made it even into BBC. In this article<\/a> by Bill Thompson, where – among others – he annotates: <\/p>\n “Neo-nomads and digital bedouins sound very exciting, but we mustn’t forget that this will only ever be a viable way of working for a small, skilled and privileged minority of people.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Its not only me who is skeptical. Extrapolating the possibilities of crowdsourcing and looking at current trends<\/a> of online markets like e.g. this<\/a> and at the current state of international trade unions it seems we are more in the waiting line for a new superglobal slave market of what I would rather call “neo-madnags”.<\/p>\n Looking at this it may be a question of survival of how one can modularize and delegate the workflow like e.g. for programming, which reminds me of an sort of ongoing experiment of Cornelia Sollfrank<\/a> in this direction namely the socalled netart generator<\/a> (another nag..:)) which automatically produces e.g. images like the generator from 2004, supported by Deutsche Volksf\u00fcrsorge (is it just a joke?-here<\/a> the funny image I got this morning on a first hit )) or e.g. the 2005 generator of html pages using linguistic markov chains<\/a> (see also wikipedia<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Berlin this morning in a wireless spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4,24,15,2,9,6,17,19],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1017"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1017"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1017\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1017"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1017"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.randform.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1017"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\nFor already quite a while there has been a meme on the net, which is referring to a certain form of working via online connections. Given the various possibilities of hooking into the net, like from cafes or other hot spots means that there is no need for a fixed workplace. There had also been some terms for this like neo-nomad or in german digitale Boh\u00e8me<\/a>.<\/p>\n
