Way back when, computers were just heavy and large and, sometimes, required a number of peripherals so a dedicated room was necessary.

Now? A wireless printer can be hidden in a nook and laptop makes any place a work area.

That doesn't work for me, at all. I don't want "any space" to be a work area.

I have a "work area". And when I close the door, I've left the office. I'm not at work. I don't want my couch to be a work area, I don't want the bedroom to be a work area. I need to be able to leave work at the end of the day.

My laptop is my work area. When its open and doing work tasks, im at work. When its closed, im at home. Both of those times can be in the same physical location.
