When enhanced with relevant and powerful mobile applications, you can use your smart phone to untether yourself from your real-world desk. Now you can work anywhere, the bus, the beach, waiting in line at the DMV…the options are endless! Of course, just because you can doesn’t mean you should…but that’s another topic entirely.
