This was a reply to the Luddite-E-ninja thread, but I realised it was its own subject. Isn't the whole concept of an office a little archaic? There wont be any paper files or other bits and pieces lying around that are needed for your work - everything will be electronic and thus non-location specific. Likewise with the non-location based structure of the Matrix, there's no reason why a "node" isn't connected to directly by workers all around the world and the same IC will guard worker A in his home in Seattle and worker B in his flat in Tokyo. And as to human interaction - how many companies can't afford 150 :nuyen: for a SIM module and trodes? Bang - virtual office. In short, I'm having trouble justifying a big office. |
