Do you think the location of the workplace will become increasingly irrelevant because of advances in technology?

I'd say the workplace location is becoming less important for many jobs, but not irrelevant. That's largely because technology lets us collaborate remotely, yet face-to-face interaction still matters in creative fields like mine. For example, as a UI designer in Shanghai, I can work from home using Figma and Slack, but the best ideas often come from spontaneous chats over coffee with colleagues. That said, companies are realizing they need offices at least part-time - my firm switched to hybrid after noticing remote work made brainstorming sessions less dynamic. So while technology gives flexibility, human connection still drives innovation in many industries.
