He also predicts that the entire workforce will become purely remote workers (telecommuters). While this is technically possible, it has met quite the opposition (and lack of proper tooling to make it as efficient and effective as it needs to be). Of course, maybe that is the idealist view. The realist view is that it will only lead to easier outsourcing? :p

Did he make that statement elsewhere?

In this video he just said "it would make it possible to live anywhere we like. Any businessman or executive could live almost anywhere on earth and still do his business". That's largely true today.


It's possible, yet we still see the majority of jobs in cities where people either have to live or commute to - at the expense of time and money.

And funnily enough, Silicon Valley, part of the industry that makes it possible to work remotely is highly localised.


He explicitly says that we would not have to live in cities, etc. Remote work was exactly what he was implying. He does not have to use that exact phrase.
