This month, Wired has pictured what could look like our – take away? – office cubicle in the future

Is it so hard to imagine that this tiny pebble-like device may be our tomorrow’s workstation ? We’ll probably have the technology by 2017 to develop this kind of gizmo, but to have it enforced – socially speaking – in every offices is another story…

 

For the past six years, Wired magazine’s Found page has presented some of the best guess at what our world will look like in 10, 20 or 100 years. This captivating monthly exercise in futurism organized by the editorial team and Wired’s readers has regularly brought outstanding results as Found has turned into one of the most plebiscited pages of the magazine.

    I’m trying to figure out that, yes, perhaps this could be our future. But not by 2017 – I doubt it :) Anyway, everything’s possible. When that time comes that office cubicles can be bought at home, everything will be a lot more comfortable and convenient for everyone, agreed?
