WASHINGTON — In 2018, going to the office has a totally different meaning than it did decades ago. A technology expert gives tips on how to have your office with you wherever you may work.
Wall Street Journal personal technology columnist David Pierce has recommendations to make your mobile office the most productive as possible.
Here’s a rundown of some of Pierce’s recommendations:
- A backpack. There’s no need to buy a new one if you already have a bag.
- Laptop
- Mouse and mouse pad (optional)
- LTE version of an iPad that can also serve as a wireless hot spot for your laptop
- A scanning app to keep digital copies of all your documents
- Dropbox or Google Drive accounts to store those documents
- A flash drive to print or share offline
- Outlet surge protector with USB ports
Pierce even recommends an app that lets you find a restroom, in case you decide that your office for the day is the great outdoors.
