Digital Nomads and Gig Economy

I am writing a short feature on Gig workers for a newspaper online. Found this article talking about digital nomads. 

Excerpt:

A fast-growing sub-population of gig providers are now made up of highly skilled knowledge workers who get engaged and paid as subject matter experts for a particular product or service. Since most knowledge work can be carried out virtually these gig providers can be engaged purely via digital channels. Since all happen cloud-based (= online) the gig providers are location independent, and since they are getting paid on a per-project basis it doesn’t matter if they work in pajamas from their bedroom halfway across the globe, or from a cafe at the beach. The main limiting factor is not a location but reliable internet access, hence the term ‘digital nomads’.
