How attached are you to your office? Hopefully not too much as futurologists are predicting in the future we’ll be working from home. Futurologist James Bellini was speaker at a debate on the future of Connected Britain, hosted by The London Transport Museum and Orange, and declared that “I think ‘goodbye office’ is a good tactic going forward.” And with 4.6million hours lost through the commute into work every day perhaps he has a point. Janet Street-Porter also joined in the discussion and admitted she stopping turning up for work a decade ago, adding: “In 40 years’ time, people will find the idea of an office a weird one: one building with one company in it with the lights on all night while people clean it uses loads of energy. Businesses think they are great if they have nice offices – this model has got to change.”
