The Office Of The Future
The office a few years from now will in most ways physically resembles the office of today. People will still sit at desks and meet in conference rooms and get food from the cafeteria. There will be some new gadgets: more tablet computers, for example, and 3D printers capable of spot-manufacturing small three-dimensional objects. The big changes to the way we work will be in the gadgets - they will be as powerful as mainframes, allowing workers to do heavy computing work, like product design, on the go. Tiny sensors will monitor your movements and, based on the departments you visit, recommend potential co-workers to meet and work with.
