The article, published by Forbes magazine, explained that coworking spaces are designated locations that, for a fee, individuals can use to conduct their work. The spaces are usually stocked with standard office equipment, such as photocopiers, printers, and fax machines.

The article goes on to suggest that the most valuable resources provided by coworking spaces are actually the people whom use them.
