Steven K. Roberts, in 1988, embarked on a 17,000-mile journey across the U.S. as a high-tech nomad. He transformed a bicycle into a mobile office, allowing him to work remotely. His lifestyle was unprecedented at the time, highlighting the limitations of office-bound work before advancements in technology. Roberts' experiences raised important questions about the future of work, as he filed articles from various locations using a portable computer, showcasing a blend of travel and work that was rare in the 1980s.
"I am a high-tech nomad-pedaling a recumbent bicycle around the United States with a portable computer while funding the journey with a sporadic outpouring of words."
"He built a bicycle that doubled as a mobile office-an eight-foot-long machine bedecked with solar panels and enough state-of-the-art gizmology to start an engineering school."
