Moreti’s argument about following an inventor over their career, comparing their productivity in Silicon Valley and elsewhere needs more clarification. Surely there other factors that can influence productivity besides proximity?
Proximity only matters in fields where you need talented partners, physical lab for experimentation and easy access to capital to innovate. IT sector is least likely place to be affected regarding Innovation. Rather it would make IT companies more difficult to hire and retain employees and would decrease leverage over them. P.S. Opensource Projects are most innovative projects in IT sector. All of them are developed by collaboration between developers remotely. It has not dropped quality in code and innovation.
Exactly. I don't think it's impossible to reach those same levels of innovation with all employees working remotely. The problem with his data is that before only few of them were working from office, now all are. I don't see how people can't adapt to this new normal and get to higher levels of productivity and innovation.
His arguments are not new, they follow economic theories from 1900's en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_cluster It has a lot to do with the fact that if more companies of the same industries are close to eachother, their workers move easily from company to company improving the productivity and sharing ideas. All the companies of the cluster are beneficiaries of the industrial zone. This works especially well in specialised industries as it would be otherwise be hard to find employees from around the country with the necessary knowledge and expertise.
Plenty of factors can influence innovation and productivity besides proximity. California has a high concentration of major tech companies, but it also doesn't enforce non-compete agreements so the engineers can flow freely from one company to the next. The majority of states still enforce non-competes which creates artificial scarcity. As far as innovation in general, it would be best for everyone if there were more hubs to avoid groupthink and a widened perspective on which problems are tackled.
@@computron5824 California has more draconian laws like it allows companies to add a clause like any product created by an employee while they are being employed by company is owned by company even if it was created during non working hours.
not really. But a naive outsider who is as foreign to innovation as thinking is to her, may be deluded into that idea and to egoistic and lazy to do homework on that matter.
People might just innovate even more than before when they have more money to explore their ideas because they aren’t dumping most of their income into landlord’s pockets. Give it a year or two. People are still adjusting.
As someone who works in tech in silicon valley, yes remote work is great. But i eventually want to be back in office. I need a separation between home & work..
Why not go to a coffee shop or something? The only reason google had such a nice office with a gym and buffet style lunches anyways was so you’d spend more time there and work more
@@dejrand You’re comparing a small coffee shop to basically a mini city lol. The amount of amenities at these companies is beyond me. Dry cleaner, free shuttles, gym, unlimited food, etc etc.. Most importantly the human interaction and frequent collaboration you got. You cannot get this remotely. A coffee shop is not the same environment and is not comparable. Apple just built one of the most expensive buildings ever built - their new HQ in cupertino at $5B (apple park). Salesforce ($1.1B) and Nvidia ($370M) just finished their headquarters in Santa Clara & SF. Google is currently building their second HQ in mountain view & are going to build a google village in san jose. Facebook is currently expanding their menlo park office & into fremont as well.. Microsoft is still building their silicon valley campus as we speak. These companies aren’t gonna just waste those billions of dollars for nothing. Yes remote work is great, but I’d like the option of both remote and in office for when I want it. But to be entirely remote forever - absolutely not.. I already have some coworkers working back in office.
Couldn't agree more. I prefer working from home for 1 or 2 days a week and the rest going to the office. I miss the social aspect of work and interacting with people.
1:45 I don't think it's fair to assume that workers need to be in close physical proximity to have epiphanies. This may I have been true in the past but with digital teams, people can have ideas at home (or anywhere else) and communicate them with their team in a matter of seconds
Exactly, a lot of these study examples are very outdated and don't take our current technology and even more recent forced adaptability into WFH, these factors surely influence creativity and productivity, but also the fact that we are in a pandemic which is very stressful negatively influences those aspects
I feel like remote work/interactions doesn’t have the depth of in person ones. When you are interacting in person you both are surround by a whole world/environment but on remote you are both in your own bubbles. Also to do remote interactions requires a machine in front of you constantly if this is cut off then the interactions dies but in person you can remain with the person fir longer periods if of time.
Depends on the kind of work one does and their situation/location and one's personality. But saying "surely" is disagreeable, not everyone's situation is the same as you think it is.
I’ve been working from home since March and have gone into the office about 10 times since then. It’s nice to not have a commute, but it’s hard to really leave that work at the office when the office is right next to where I watch tv and play Xbox.
@@pedroSilesia nah I see what they're saying. It's nice to have a dedicated workspace for working from home so there's a more mental clear delineation from working and not working.

most innovations, inventions are just various forms of 'add-ons' spreading out reduces your chances to find or come across something/ideas to add on to.
Enjoy it dude. Don't waste your time, money and life commuting to an office when you can do the exact same job in the exact same manner from the comfort of your home!

Vast majority of innovation happens gradually every day. Often doesn’t result in a patent. Remote working gives better focus on your task in hand. Better cheaper living give workers the peace of mind and better health. Go remote!!
If work becomes entirely remote, why do we assume it’s going to stay in the U.S.? In the long run, whatever can be done remotely will be done where it’s cheapest. It’ll be a boon for India, but a lot of the Americans celebrating now will be out of luck.
Yeah but sorry I would doubt the methodology of that paper, how it was described in this video. A correlation is not a causal link. So many factors to consider here.
Remote working is good, especially for those who live in busy stressful cities with traffic, etc but same days of the week should definitely be assigned for physical so as not too loose the human touch.
@xearther Hi 👋.. Well not only the physical human touch, I meant things like close contact bonding among colleagues that is almost impossible to replicate online. Thanks 🙏
I think there's must be a masterplan in concordation with the big tech companies. I mean, they have lot of users data, they can even predict a couple of things or "incline" a part of their big population (or consumers of their platform) to change mind or take a position in some topic they may consider relevant. As far as I concerned, they are looking to be a bigger part in the life of a common people. Want to build automatic stores, no money (paper) circulation, everything just virtual because in that way they will control almost everything. So, big tech companies have a plan to become stronger and powerful going forward to an extra step or level in our lives. The more we stay at home and make everything virtual, the more power they have. It's all about power
Exactly. People called me crazy last spring when I was telling them what all this is leading to. They just wanted the restrictions lifted to go out and enjoy life "like before" but I told them life will never be the same again. They will keep forcing us to stay at home until we supposedly get used to this "new normal". No cash, everything digitized, all under their control. The WFO actually presented these scenarios of a new world years ago, it's still up there on their website. Only the rich and priviliged will continue to travel wherever, even a vaccine passport wont suffice. They will make us believe they've found the solution but then they will retract again, nothing will truly work to help us go back to what we had. Edit: I meant WEF not WFO
You say that as though “work friends” are bad or not 100% legit friends. If you go to school for 4 years, pursue a specific degree, then apply to a specific company, chances are you have a lot more in common with the people that did the exact same thing as you than you have with random strangers.
These companies have seen innovation when working in office, now they need to give time for remote work. They cannot expect innovation to happen every 6 months.
The power is shifting towards the talent and away from the corporation and WOW they don’t like it. Talent wants to live in a more chill, cheap place to have a better quality of life and not be constantly stressed by traffic and bills. I’m far more productive without the distractions of people in my space constantly and the time lost to commuting. We have the tech to communicate with anyone we collaborate with in seconds, share information more widely rather than having to be in the room where a convo happened. If the tech industry can’t adapt, how innovation is it, really?
The “research” which shows when people leave the innovation reducing does not account for the innovation that could happen when working from home becomes the norm. Working together has had a good few centuries to be optimised for innovation Working from how might also require the same. But it’s also good in many other areas like environmental impact and such. So to conclude, work from home is much better than travelling 2 hours a day to work in offices
Majority of managers are being shown how worthless they are during a WFH. That's why they hate WFH and keep saying that it hurts morale. In reality, many IT firms had much higher productivity in WFH setting.
All this talk about work from home becoming a permanent thing is absolute bs. If anything it makes more sense to have a hybrid model where employees work from home 2 or 3 days and the rest of the days they go to the office. It's impossible to build good relationships with people working remotely. Especially if you are new to the company. Its important to be interacting with people at work in person.
Hippy, dippy BS. Creativity can and does occur everywhere, all the time, all throughout history. You don't need to live in an overpriced city and be in a sterile office together.
Is Google News really "innovation"? Like he said it's "an aggregator of news" - I highly doubt that wasn't going to inevitably be created. I think that example is cherry-picked because there probably isn't really that many serendipitous water-cooler conversations. Let's be real for a moment: our days are hammered by more useless than productive meetings, wasted time commuting to and from an office in a city that's too expensive to live in, underpaid while mega-corps earn even higher than previous quarter's profits. Perhaps actually advocating for better work-life balance where folks can take the time to have a conversation without scarfing down their lunches just before they jump on the 5th Zoom call of the morning hours so that they can stay away for their afternoon conversations and early evening "work time".
Who are these "experts" kidding? Everyone know the greatest venue for skepticism . . . criticism . . . arguments . . . bouncing ideas . . . expressing opinions . . . and generating, new and creative ideas, innovation and solutions is . . . The *TH-cam comment sections!!!* The real problem is that the powers-that-be never read or listen to them. Or if they do, they will claim that _they_ had thought of it, and that it's "their" idea. Indeed the only real obstacle to innovation are these TH-cam censors, blocks and demonetization.
Just think about all the hours and money in transportation you can save... The environment will thank you. Oil companies, car makers and office tenants... Not so much. But we will have much cleaner air and far more peaceful cities and no overcrowded roads. A dream come true.
I personally like wfh, I feel more comfortable in my own and work better. My team has daily meetings and We make a good effort to “shoot the breeze” whereas there were many days where I’d (commute 45 min one way) go into the office and not talk to a single soul :/
Honestly I feel like the ones wanting workers to be in the office are the same folks that create toxic work environments. Either they’re a micromanager, work bully’s that have to feel sense of importance in the office or that employee who needs interaction that can only get it at work because they can’t anywhere else........
This field is disgusting. Corporate manufacturing over the human experience,overstepping the boundaries of an employer over it’s workers. Can the work provided not be enough?

I’m far more productive without the distractions of people in my space constantly and the time lost to commuting. We have the tech to communicate with anyone we collaborate with in seconds, share information more widely rather than having to be in the room where a convo happened. If the tech industry can’t adapt, how innovation is it, really?
The “research” which shows when people leave the innovation reducing does not account for the innovation that could happen when working from home becomes the norm.
Working together has had a good few centuries to be optimised for innovation
Working from how might also require the same. But it’s also good in many other areas like environmental impact and such.
So to conclude, work from home is much better than travelling 2 hours a day to work in offices

There is new research that shows that people with a brain are more likely to innovate. The rest is just a matter of distance (physical and emotional).
Majority of managers are being shown how worthless they are during a WFH. That's why they hate WFH and keep saying that it hurts morale. In reality, many IT firms had much higher productivity in WFH setting.

Beware most of the comments below make no sense
Wouldn’t it follow that if these inventors leave inventive spaces perhaps their priorities have changed

"Figures don't lie, but liars do figure". You can make any data to tell a story you want to tell.
Selling privacy data and build new companies?
Ok
All this talk about work from home becoming a permanent thing is absolute bs. If anything it makes more sense to have a hybrid model where employees work from home 2 or 3 days and the rest of the days they go to the office. It's impossible to build good relationships with people working remotely. Especially if you are new to the company. Its important to be interacting with people at work in person.
Hippy, dippy BS. Creativity can and does occur everywhere, all the time, all throughout history. You don't need to live in an overpriced city and be in a sterile office together.
Advantages: hire innovators, regardless of geography or culture.
Disadvantages: limit innovation and your own company culture

Is Google News really "innovation"? Like he said it's "an aggregator of news" - I highly doubt that wasn't going to inevitably be created. I think that example is cherry-picked because there probably isn't really that many serendipitous water-cooler conversations. Let's be real for a moment: our days are hammered by more useless than productive meetings, wasted time commuting to and from an office in a city that's too expensive to live in, underpaid while mega-corps earn even higher than previous quarter's profits. Perhaps actually advocating for better work-life balance where folks can take the time to have a conversation without scarfing down their lunches just before they jump on the 5th Zoom call of the morning hours so that they can stay away for their afternoon conversations and early evening "work time".
Who are these "experts" kidding? Everyone know the greatest venue for skepticism . . . criticism . . . arguments . . . bouncing ideas . . . expressing opinions . . . and generating, new and creative ideas, innovation and solutions is . . . The *TH-cam comment sections!!!* The real problem is that the powers-that-be never read or listen to them. Or if they do, they will claim that _they_ had thought of it, and that it's "their" idea. Indeed the only real obstacle to innovation are these TH-cam censors, blocks and demonetization.
Wow this is just sad.
Just think about all the hours and money in transportation you can save... The environment will thank you. Oil companies, car makers and office tenants... Not so much. But we will have much cleaner air and far more peaceful cities and no overcrowded roads. A dream come true.
I don’t know anything about Remote Working. Corruption!
Thumbs up = Zuckerberg is a robot.

did tech companies make coronavirus for increasing online business?
so people who i expect to be shut ins and tech weebs are sucking at being shut ins and tech weebs

LAN parties.
Hard pass... I rather work from home. You don't allow me to work at home, I'm good.
They are ruining the work experience.
They are all buying Ideanomics Stock (IDEX) You guys are welcome! Go make money!!!
Number 1 let's goooooooo
I personally like wfh, I feel more comfortable in my own and work better. My team has daily meetings and We make a good effort to “shoot the breeze” whereas there were many days where I’d (commute 45 min one way) go into the office and not talk to a single soul :/
WFH is great a few days a week but we need to socialize in person
พ่อทำไมอเมริกาต้องทำเช่นนี้เขาพยายามมาหลายครั้งแล้วแต่ก็มีศึกระหว่างประเทศติดขัดนั้นเองไม่สะดวกอย่างเช่นปัจจุบันสิ้นสงครามต่างประเทศเขาจะอยากจัดการกู้หน้ากู้ศักดิ์ศรีคืนมาไม่ต้องจัดการให้เด็ดขาดการแผนการนี้เพื่อให้ชาวโลกเห็นกิตติศักดิ์ผู้นำของโลกนั่นเอง
We need to regulate these big tech companies to not have so much power over our news and speech
This is such a job. Lol
Honestly I feel like the ones wanting workers to be in the office are the same folks that create toxic work environments. Either they’re a micromanager, work bully’s that have to feel sense of importance in the office or that employee who needs interaction that can only get it at work because they can’t anywhere else........
Lawl, presumptuous much?
What the heck, anybody else get annoyed by 3 typos in one graphic? :45
За..бись, интересно
This field is disgusting. Corporate manufacturing over the human experience,overstepping the boundaries of an employer over it’s workers. Can the work provided not be enough?
Be the change you want to see. Start your own company.
I feel like I've done more work working from home then at work.
