Digital Nomadism

“Nomads are people who pursue some goal, … Whatever their goal, their wanderings do not come to an end when the goal has been achieved” (Flusser 2003: 43). When we put this term into modern context, we see the digital nomads. Nomads in the digital age have always been chasing something (a certain identity, a scenario in a hybrid virtual situation, or a space/image in their fantasy that can only be found in the cyber world). Hence digital nomadism is an escape, and in this case such escape is endless, because these goals pursued cannot be truly satisfied if digital nomads only fulfill their emotional demands in the virtual world.
