5. Working at third Place
“….Third places take their rank from the idea that "daily life, in order to be relaxed and fulfilling,
must find its balance in three realms of experience: 1) home; 2) work; and 3) social life”…
“Third places are informal gathering places in which people gather between home and “work
(Ray Oldenburg)
Mobile worker needs:
third places to work
• What is the closest place to work
with my laptop?
• Can I charge the battery?
• Would it be possible to find a
place to make a call with a
minimum silence?
• Will I have wireless connectivity?
• Will I can do a meeting with
several people?
