Recently, we’ve seen the rise of what is euphemistically known as the ‘digital nomad’. I propose we call them by what they really are: digital hobos. Or, really, let’s just call them hobos, since the only significant difference between the hobos of the early 20th century and today’s ‘digital nomads’ is the tech. Instead of a bindle they have laptops, but the driving motivation is the same: coping with an economy that no longer makes sense.
