I've been thinking about the ways the coronavirus could change how we work and live.

Before they retired my parents would drive to Melbourne > once a week for meetings their city-based counterparts insisted had to be face-to-face. A 6-hour round trip for a 1 hour meeting.

The technology was available, but they were never allowed to take those meetings remotely.

People are encouraged to move to more affordable, less crowded regional areas, but workplaces — including government departments — don't want people to work remotely.

Often they said there were immutable reasons why people could not work remotely. Well, we're all remote now.

But what does that look like, if we are to embrace a culture of a significant number of people working from home?

What do our houses look like? Do they have to change shape, if we're always working in them?
