“Digital nomads”, what do we WANT to be called?

“Freelancer” seems fine to me in a world without borders, though work does not define most people I now and no label fits the majority of people except “Human Being.” One should not be defined in a binary way or in anyway that relates to what is essentially work related to the binary (i.e. “digial”) , I believe.
Hopefully all human beings continue to have interactions with the non-binary, non-digital world. Otherwise, we will be at the service of “Hal,” as in Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey.”
In the existential sense, we are all nomads, whether at “home” (whatever that is) or abroad. In the deepest sense, any sentient and thinking being knows that one aspect of life is dealing with being a stranger in a strange land.
