"Digital Nomad" Is Obsolete

In the past five years, a “digital-nomad industrial complex” has emerged, in which people enable their digital-nomad lifestyles by providing services to other digital nomads — education, housing, workspaces and more. Today, the term digital nomad is used to market all manner of goods and services, from co-working spaces, to co-living spaces, and even to digital nomad–branded sunglasses. While the vision of digital-nomad living has become reality, the label is now dated and obsolete.
