Debates now about merits of working 'from home'. If you work virtually, your work is not actually at home. Nor is your work 'at work'. Some people say you're working 'online', just as they say kids are doing 'online learning'. But online isn't a place either. All these space metaphors are wrong I think. Our presence, where we 'are', is not a place. Places are not places either, we're too in love with maps.
