Recently I’ve spent my days working like poets used to in the 19th century, in cafes. I must say it is a very interesting, and highly entertaining at times. I’m quite good at multi tasking as I find it quite easy to work and listen in on other people’s converstations at the same time.
Back in uni days I did quite a bit of studying in cafes as well, so it’s something I like doing. And since almost every cafe now has wifi, the infrastructure is there for me to do.
A couple of days ago I listened in on a web designer guru talking with his client, I was trying to spot mistakes in what he was saying but he was actually quite good. He seemed quite keen to make sure the client understood that lots of testing will be needed on the live product, so maybe he wasn’t that confident update his work 
A few days after that I had three 25 year old girls chat next to me for 3 hours about marriage. It is quite amazing how much girls can talk. They also declared every opinion they had like it was a fact and common knowledge. It seemed quite obvious to me that all of them had pretty sad lives, but they seemed eager to show how interesting they were to each other. I don’t think that’s really friendship but never mind
Almost every day I hear someone talk about their lives, and it makes my day much more interesting. It also makes me think, maybe people who work on their laptops will be the next generation of people who will fill cafes. I’ve already met a few developers who do spend a few days a month working in a cafe.
