The normalization of remote working will also have an impact on younger workers who, though digitally native, are also more likely to live in cramped circumstances and miss the kind of formative experiences that happen in a physical workplace. A recent American study found that far more 18- to 24-year-olds felt they were less rather than more productive at home. More broadly, the workplace can function as a valuable place of bonding and creativity, as well as a mixed social space that does people the service of removing them from their online social media bubbles.

背景：通勤给我们带来的压力和困扰出人意料地在新冠肺炎时代被暂时消解，而且随着一些企业发现远程办公的好处(据称生产率略高)，也许会有更多的员工被允许长期居家工作，永别通勤之苦。摩根史坦利投资公司预测，到2030年，预计居家工作的员工将上涨一倍，达到30%。但如果只是单纯地赞颂这种变化，不为即将到来的失衡有所准备就未免视野狭窄。居家办工毫无疑问能疏解交通拥堵且一定程度地缓解城市环境压力，但城市发达的高端服务业(如金融、信息服务等)也养活了众多的餐馆、干洗店、出租公司等。同时，20出头刚进入职场的年轻人群将因居家办公潮而处于不利地位，失去在现场办公场所与同事进行思想交锋和向前辈学习的宝贵机会。
