It's the definite article that causes problems, implying there's an easy way to think about the issues surrounding the inequitable access to technology -- and perhaps an easy solution.

I have incorporated mini-breaks to walk in the middle of the day to help me think when I I am writing or thinking through a problem for a client. When you walk solo, you have the benefit of working through some problems or helping you generate a creative solution. Also, if I’m on calls, I do them while walking around.

Actually the first laptops hit the market 20 years ago and cell phones started shrinking in the early 1990s. The coffee shop and the lounge chair also present another problem: they don’t allow bosses to do the typical drive by cubicle and office sightings to make sure all employees are present and accounted for.
