Reflection on So We're Working From Home. Can the Internet Handle It?

Today, my news consumption <s>is</s> was from The New York Times. <s>This</s> The report <s>is</s> was not so interesting, so I will just talk about my opinion towards <s>online</s> working online.

Will it become a trend?

I have <s>planned</s> been planning <s>for</s> a journalism project <s>named</s> titled "People do not need to work in Beijing" for several months. It's not about super rich <s>guy</s> people or full-time landlords in Beijing. This project will focus on freelancers or new careers born out of Web 3.0, such as independent programmer, influencer, freelance journalist. Maybe these are not new for western countries, but most Chinese people <s>did</s> do not consider them as real jobs. I have talked to many "do not need to work" people. Most of them work from home, and <s>no one</s> none of them have said it's inconvenient. On the contrary, I was told that they saved the commute time to do whatever they want. In Beijing, commute time means 2-3 hours a day on average.

Not just freelancers found they have more time. One of my friends who <s>is working</s> works <s>in</s> at a tech company said his boss does not seem<s> s </s> to want him back in the office since he works more hours when he works from home. Not going to work means you're going to work all the time. <em style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">(<--- This sentence is grammatically correct, but the meaning is confusing)</em>

Working from home sounds perfect. No commute. Sleep until you wake up naturally. You can live in a place with beautiful scenery and low rent. Will we all work at home in the future? From my point of view, unless we're in home quarantine for a few months, <s>it's</s> we're a long way from that.
