I disagree, hes basically just trying to make "freelancing" sound futuristic and cool - freelancing has been around and growing for a decade or more, but its not going to take over - maintream people cant do it, dont like the stress of it.... they NEED to work for someone else solidly and permanently... I'm more "freelance style" myself.. but its not for everyone and I dont think it ever will be.
Maybe so - but we didn't have nearly the number of people doing freelancing 20 years ago (the internet itself has made doing such work a lot more viable) so I do think it is a growing trend (but agreed that it is still far from being a *mainstream* approach to work).
