Low Tech Business Travel
Laptops, text messaging from cell phones, Blackberrying and all the hot new mobile technologies. We love them...but do we really NEED them?
You don't have to have WIFI access, or even a laptop/Blackberry to get work done - although sometimes it seems that way, these high-tech days. But anyone can work well, anywhere in the world, with the proper desire and a little extra effort. I touch on this, working from my tent in the US southwest, and coffeeshops in Wales, Italy and Asia. You don't have to be logged in from a hotel, airport or even coffeeshop. You can work from a sleeping bag in the tropics.
I'm compiling ideas for an upcoming article on low-tech ways to get real, honest business work done while traveling. It might take a bit more effort, but you can always get something accomplished - pen and paper, anyone - from just about anywhere on the planet. Or off the planet. (Depending on what you do for a living.)
You probably have advice too. Feel free to join the Low Tech Locale discussion.
