Abstract

Work in The Netherlands seems to evolve along the line of technological inventions as a result of increased productivity rates. Because of its increasing productivity, the earliest technologies are quickly adopted in spaces of economic activity. Traditionally, the place to work was centralized so employers could keep an eye on their employees and often also because the home environment couldn’t provide a reasonable place to work. But through the disruptive decentralization of the internet, work activity was partially released from its geographical constraints. During this time of Remote Working employees saw increasing productivity levels. However, some negative side-effects were introduced that limited the remote desktop. As digital developments continue the full disruptive power of the internet has not yet been met. Currently, some disruptive technologies are being developed that try to expand the digitally assisted professions into safe immersive experiences. In moving away from technology as a medium to re-act upon, this research shows how active acting can deliver on socio-economic sustainability in Amsterdam Nieuw-West through the example of work.
