A peek at the office of the future

A peek at the office of the future I was checking out the information about the upcoming conference Office 2.0. I wanted to get a sense of what the future workplace would look like. Theres not much information there, but I got a bit from the list of speakers: 1. There are two links next to every speaker name: blog, and profile. If you think you dont need a blog, you need to look at this list. Its long. And every person on it has a blog. Blogging is essential for big thinkers, serious careerists, and anyone who wants to be part of a wide-reaching conversation. 2. The list of photos is pretty unremarkable, mostly men, mostly headshots. There are a lot of visions for what the future of the office will be. Our computers will have no client application other than a web browser, for example, and virtual collaboration will be easy. But maybe the most wide-reaching vision of Office 2.0 emerged before the conference even started. The image is on the speakers page, where David Young, CEO of Joyent, makes room in his own small square headshot for his babys head, too. Because Office 2.0 must make room for children.
