- 16. 1942: The typing pool We didn’t have the technology we do today, so everyone had to be in a specific location to communicate and move work along.
- 17. 1975: The cubicle Putting in time in a physical place was thought to be the way to produce the optimal results.
- 18. 1995: The “open” office With technological advances, people could move about more. But the open workspace is not much different than the typing pool. People are still expected to show up in one place and put in their time.
- 19. Today: The dog park Companies decided that people would be happier if they brought their dogs into the workplace, installed ping pong tables in the break room, and whatnot.
