I wonder how many years it'll take before they add huge fuel taxes on aviation fuel (at the moment, it's untaxed). The planet really cannot cope with all this flying.

And who says I would have worked from Denmark? I might have chosen to see the world anyway and worked from Spain or whatever. In fact, the main reason to cluster around big cities would disappear, I think, so I think many people would move to the countryside. And yes, it's probably unlikely we would have met in such a world, but you never know. People will still have a need to meet new people, so we might have started chatting in the photo comments of Flickr, for instance. :-) I guess your employer would pay for a work place of your choice.

Who wd pay for these work places if they weren't all used by a specific employer? In your new world of course you'd have worked from Denmark for HCP and me from Newton Mearns - so we'd never have met, interesting...?
