I& #39;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& #39;t want people to work remotely.

Often they said there were immutable reasons why people could not work remotely. Well, we& #39;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& #39;re always working in them?
