To begin with, starting a job implied the notion that one should go to a corporate building where his office was located, and there he would be able to find all the necessary elements to carry out my work. Notebooks, pens, markers, printers, faxes, telephones and cumbersome computers were part of the everyday landscape. The Internet, in turn, was a very different version of the one we enjoy today, and I remember with some nostalgia that very particular sound when picking up the telephone while using the Internet. At that moment, The paradigm that governed the corporate world was structurally based on carrying out our tasks in what we call “office hours” from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
If I get closer in the timeline, the landscape we were used to, almost imperceptibly, began to change. And I am not only referring to the fashion that is reflected in our clothing, but also to the tools. Towards the end of the first decade of the 2000s, the use of WiFi as a connectivity network became popular, allowing a user experience that was already beginning to demonstrate the importance of “remote”. Combined with the use of notebooks, this meant that in the offices we could make use of rooms and begin to move a little more, gaining freedom and optimizing our tasks. Yet this freedom was still within the confines of the corporate building.
Now, I would like to enter a slightly more current reality. With the Wi-Fi boom, not only offices gained a good Internet connection, but also homes. Hand in hand with the evolution of connectivity, so did computers, and for computers to evolve, so did processors and graphics cards: notebooks began to be lighter, providing portability, and even those intended for leisure began to have such a processing capacity that it made it possible to turn notebooks into a versatile tool that could respond to people’s personal and professional needs . And here the great change began. appeared the freelancersand with them, the concept that your own home becomes your office.
At the corporate level, companies also began to offer as a benefit the possibility of doing home officecertain number of days per month. The concept of remote began to step stronger thanks to the portability and processing capacity.
Today, and having gone through a global pandemic that forced us to accelerate the paradigms that were beginning to position themselves, we find ourselves with a collaborator who loves the hybrid model, who takes technology wherever he goes, who also thinks about his tasks in a flexible way. , searching for productivity and balance in your life.
Modern workers are a reflection of innovation, an apparently silent actor that has quietly transformed our way of living. It is the capacity of a mobile processor that today gives us the possibility of working from the most incredible places on our planet. Just imagine how we will continue to evolve in 10 more years!
