In this work, we describe set of challenges for developers of systems that support digital artifact reuse. We furthermore show how these challenges are embodied in tools we built that help make digital artifacts reusable.<\/p>\n<h3>Keywords<\/h3>\n<p>future of work, digital artifacts, distributed work, distributed tools<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-672606-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.madpickle.net\/scott\/msFutureOfWork2020\/video.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.madpickle.net\/scott\/msFutureOfWork2020\/video.mp4\">https:\/\/www.madpickle.net\/scott\/msFutureOfWork2020\/video.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"\">ABOUT THE AUTHOR\/S<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Scott Carter<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:scott@madpickle.net\">scott@madpickle.net<\/a><br \/>\nTarghetta Design<\/p>\n<p><em>Scott Carter has worked in industrial research for over a decade building and evaluating mobile and multimedia systems to support remote and collocated workers.
