Technology shapes our world and the people living in it. Every part of our lives is affected by new innovations and so is our work.

In 62% of U.S. companies the employees can work remotely, and 57% of these companies offer flexible schedules. For now the Freelancers Union has 42 million members and if it continues like this, the office in the traditional sense will disappear by 2021.

An increasingly important role take mobile, so-called plugandplay-offices, which can be located anywhere, such as hotels and shopping centers.

Mobile workstations can be placed anywhere, including the courtyard of our house, university campus or a park opposite the office. The shell will not only provide protection from rain and shade in sunny weather, but also will provide electricity powered by a solar battery in order to feature a socket for a laptop.

Furthermore, current developments of tablets will result in them becoming more powerful and will replace everything we get in the ordinary office: a reliable computer, fax, scanner. Going to the office will no longer be an issue for most of us: we just get out of the house and take our tablet with us. Technology will make people more mobile, but this does not mean that they will actually work less. Experts predict that we will be working even more: the complete opposite will be the case: employees will be even available during holidays!

At home it is very difficult to organize a working day, so most companies decide to pay a lot of money to rent an office space. The trick of making this an advantage is to let people select and organize their office themselves. Freelancers can choose among the existing projects, for example, Loosecubes - the biggest space for collaborative work. Loosecubes includes 1,700 jobs in 350 cities in 47 countries. The project helps freelancers rent free workplace in existing offices, personally selecting the place and the people with whom they want to work.

                    

Project Title Loosecubes tops the bad experience of the traditional office-blocks. Fighting boredom with all the other workers leads to a variety of interior design solutions, among these are some crazy options - for example, office space in the greenhouse in a transparent soundproof bubbles or underground mines.

 

The bubble office is also interactive: it is able to change the temperature, humidity and lighting in accordance with the functional status of the employee (for example, if the smart chair realizes that the back of the person who sits in it is too tight, it will give a massage).

It is amazing to see what we can do with a little piece of technology and how it can help us in our everyday life. All we need to do is be creative!
