Freelance industry is really huge. I guess it can become a serious competitive for other kinds of activities. I mean that thanks to technologies and internet there is no geographical boarders and no needs to stay always at one place. You can do whatever you want to do wherever you are.
I agree with you. Also, it put communication on the next level. Now it is so easy to find a common language with people all over the planet. There is need to wait long to find a perfect specialist or a perfect job.
