Douglas-Coupland, 9-5, employment, work, future-of-work, technolgy, 1995, 2017

The internet is here to stay and will continue to profoundly change societies and the workplace. “If the internet stopped one day, can you imagine the chaos? What would we call that scenario? It’s called 1995 – that’s how far we’ve come.”
