Don’t let Future Technology Break Your Workspace, Plan ahead.

The cubicle is dying. That makes me happy. It should make you happy too. But “with great power comes great responsibility” (thank you, Stan Lee, you remain awesome). Our workspaces are mutating and expanding in exciting, albeit unpredictable ways. We talk to our coworkers and clients about a range of issues and ideas because we understand our interconnection in ways innovators and futurists of just a decade ago barely imagined. Face it, going to work today is kind of awesome, especially compared the poor cubicle denizens, some sad few of whom remain in antiquated office spaces prized by (too old) people who are afraid of creativity and collaboration.

Amazing as it is there is always the risk that some new way of reaching our comrades and friends is just around the corner. No matter how many repurposed desks and recycled materials you used to give your workspace its sense of possibility, or how much money those antiques saved you in the process, your office or work-gym or whatever you call it is still an investment and one that you are not easily going to relinquish. All the more so if it is well put together, established and you love it. So if it is all those things whats the problem?

Answer: No one knows. We do know something new is coming. It’s incredible and you are going to wonder how you lived without it. That means you need to plan the infrastructure of your workplace to accommodate something that might be impossible to imagine. Well, not impossible. We can make some pretty good guesses about what we will need for the future. At least in terms of space, power, ventilation and so on.
