True digital nomads in Estonia

I had my doubts about whether it would work - WiFi on the bus? Yep, am sitting on the SEBE express bus Tallinn-Tartu (a 2:25 hours ride) writing this now, and the WiFi is included in the regular ticket. Maybe it's more comfortable like the friends' of Christian on the boat, but I think this is cooler and more usable. Oh, this is a good time to mention wireless-obsessed Ashish as well.


I love the concept of being able to bring your office with you and actually work as well, not just be a latte-sipping pretender :-) . Just in terms of infrastructure and social acceptance, that is not quite possible yet in Sweden at least, but I am sure they will catch up, starting with the school kids.

Maybe it could be the reversal of the process that people spend less and less time in public spaces, at least they can then spend the days way from their home-cinema apartments? Some things will need to change, but I'm sure places will pop up which work on attracting the laptop-carrying nomads.

(Update: Wow, now there's free WiFi also in my home-village Gnosjö!)
