On the way into work this morning, there was a tidbit in the elevator on the TV screen saying that in the office place, there are particular pieces of equipment that are either already obselete or on their way. The specific examples it mentioned was the copier, fax machine and the rolodex. The first two, I can understand, but the rolodex, it really made me wonder how many people have them at all anymore. I can't remember the last time that I've seen a rolodex on someone's desk.
All that having been said, the little info-byte was absolutely correct. The thing is though is that this isn't a new phenomena, it's something that's been going on forever and will continue to do so, it's just how we adapt to technology - and invent new technologies to (allegedly) make us more productive.
It does make me wonder though what the office place will look like in 20 or 30 years.
