Reading Comprehension 8th Grade (1 Term)

Read the short article below and answer the questions that follow.

Article A: The Remote Revolution

For decades, the idea of "going to work" meant getting dressed, fighting traffic, and sitting in an office from 9 to 5. Today, however, millions of people are choosing a different path: becoming digital nomads. A digital nomad is someone who uses technology to work remotely from anywhere in the world. All they really need is a reliable laptop and a strong Wi-Fi connection.

This lifestyle, which combines work and continuous travel, is especially popular among young people and those working in IT, design, and online marketing. They might spend six months working from a beach in Thailand and then move to a small mountain town in Italy. While it sounds like a permanent holiday, it’s not always easy. Time zone differences can make scheduling meetings difficult, and finding a quiet place to work in a busy hostel requires a lot of discipline. Despite the challenges, digital nomads value the freedom and flexibility this revolution offers, prioritizing experience over stability.

I. True, False, or Doesn't Say (T/F/DS)
