It's a class thing too. I grew up poor, but had the good fortune of getting a computer back in 1978. I have had a mix of manual labor and office jobs over the years, and obviously you can't WFH if your job is diving and fixing underwater hydraulics and electrical systems or machining parts for a space mission. I've done both. I think getting out of the house to a place of mutual effort will always be required and has societal benefits and individual benefits to those who would typically shy away from face-to-face interactions. I guess if your work product is moving electrons and information you can work where you want. I worked in the middle of nowhere a few times for years. I guess that's why I need to have physical work along with my mental work. Being on a phone or laptop in a jungle or beach paradise takes away from my presence there. At least that's my opinion.
