Just like you, I also think that the innovations of the 21st century are groundbreaking, but many of these things have deeper roots. It is not your fault, we regularly encounter concepts in our daily lives that feel fresh, but they have actually been around for decades. Believe it or not, many modern conveniences are just twists on ideas long established.

Remote work seems like a product of the pandemic, but the concept has been around for years. In fact, the term “telecommuting” was coined back in the 1970s by Jack Nilles, who explored work-from-home options for employees. Because of different advancements in technology, people have worked from home in various industries long before it became a norm in 2020.
