	Office of the future - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Office of the future is a concept dating from the 1940s.
		The citations also tend to overlook that Memex was an entire system, composed not only of a massive desk which housed the microfilm hyperlinking equipment, and the microfilm library but also of a speech activated typewriter (also capable of speech synthesis from normal paper text) and other accessories.
		For instance, the Dynabook idea (presented by Alan Kay and the Xerox PARC) proposed a portable slate-like personal computer which could have been used in an office but which was really an extremely personal exploration tool, meant more to draw Art, compose music or invent new algorithms than to write a business letter.

		The concept overlaps considerably with the newer 'paperless office', and also links back to futuristic early 20th century models for mechanising secretarial and household work that were sporadically presented at World's Fairs and in Hollywood movies.
		In the 1960s more recognisably computer-based machines for 'offices of the future' were presented in usable form, with more specialized functions.
		The office of the future got a rest as real developments overwhelmed fantasy, but in 1994 it resurfaced in Sun Microsystems' Memex-type Starfire video prototype, which also briefly presented something like the web, in addition to being integrated with public telephony and allowing videoconferencing.

	Complexity of New Office Designs: Thinking Through Your Future Workplace
		This is a complete reversal of the traditional office design where your office or workspace was assigned, and as you advanced, you moved to increasingly larger and more private offices.
		Add to that the reconfiguration of the office to accommodate the smaller individual work areas, the multiple team areas and team rooms, and the office begins to look more like a 9-foot-thick waffle-weave blanket with employees threading their way through each workday.
		A comfortable blend of progressive office equipment and technologies, workstyle aids, individual and group needs, the exhibit was so successful in showcasing new office design that the sponsors plan to repeat it next year.

		Rewiring your office does not need to be an ordeal, nor does it need to require a major capital investment since, in most cases, you can use ordinary copper wiring throughout most of your office.
		Each desktop in your office should be served with a multi-purpose jack which includes several types of wiring interfaces: 6-wire RJ-14 for telephone service, RJ-45 for 10BaseT and 100BaseT service, and a spare UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable which hangs loose behind the modular jack panel for future use.
		For offices which need 24-hour connectivity (i.e., for a locally hosted web site, mail server, etc.), Frame Relay is a better option than ISDN as it can provide data rates from 64 Kbps to 1.5 Mbps and is generally offered on a flat-rate basis instead of a per-minute basis (as is the case with ISDN).
