Mobility underscores the office of the future: study

A new report on workplaces of the future suggests the possibility of greater mobility and flexibility as well as décor that adapts to a worker’s mood, the BBC reports.

Researchers say workers of the future will spend considerably less time at one physical location and as a result head offices and individual desks will be largely replaced by 'hot desking'.

An ICT innovation known as 'information walls' that screen a person’s diaries, documents and videoconferences are also predicted to be a fixture of future homes and workplaces. 

And in a very Space 2001 twist, technology will have the ability to measure and then respond to its user’s mood by adjusting changeable elements of workplace décor.
