Businesses have been obsessed with increasing efficiency and getting the most out of their employees， and this goes all the way to how they set up their office space.
So， what might a typical office day look like in， say， 2030？ Not so typical.
You might start your day with a 3D 1）holographic video conference with your CEO. Then log into your department meeting via your 2）avatar which can 3）mimic your actual movements and facial expressions. Now as you work， software tracks which
Apps you use for how long， which emails you tend to put off， and the tone of your response in the emails you send. Your body monitoring device encourages you to get up if you’ve been sitting around for too long， doing things like playing the video games developed by your company to e n c o u r a g e a n d reward innovative thinking.
Moving around gets your heart rate up； it might get some 4）alpha waves going to really encourage creativity. And speaking about alpha waves and creativity， companies like 3M and Google are doing that by setting aside time， sometimes between 15 and 20% of an employees work week to work on pet projects. Other companies inspire employees to take naps or long walks or even just work from home all the time. Eventually， we’ll probably move into an environment where we just have virtual offices and robot assistants will answer all of our emails for us. But will such work be rewarding？
Well， think about it. Work has evolved over time. Toiling in the fields has given way in large part to toiling over a 37-message long email chain， or trying to figure out how to keep people from 5）nodding off during your PowerPoint presentation. It’s still toiling.
One thing that will not change， though， is that we still need people to work together to solve problems 6）collaboratively. And one other thing that might not change are work 7）hierarchies. So a little word of advice， watch what you say about the boss when you’re at the water cooler—even if it’s a virtual water cooler.
一直以来，企业都热衷于提高工作效率，想从员工身上获取最大价值，而为了做到这一点，其中甚至涉及到如何进行办公空间的设置。
那么，比如说在2030年，在办公室里典型的一天会是怎么样的呢？情况可不那么典型哦。
你的一天可能会以你与公司首席执行官之间的三维全息视频会议开始。接下来，你通过可以模拟你的实际身体动作和面部表情的虚拟形象登录你所在部门的会议。好了，就在你工作的时候，软件会跟踪记录你用了哪几个应用，都用了多长时间，你可能会延迟处理哪些电子邮件，还有你在发出的邮件里使用的语气。公司开发了特殊的电子游戏，旨在激发员工的创新思维并对此给予奖励。可如果你因为玩这种游戏，或者做其他事情而久坐不起，监测你身体活动的设备就会督促你站起来活动一下。
到处活动一下会让你心跳加速，那就可能会让你的阿尔法脑波活动加快，给你带来创意灵感。说到阿尔法脑波和创造力，像3M和谷歌这些公司，他们每周会特意留出15%到20% 的工作时间，让员工做自己感兴趣的项目，从而提高他们的创造力。其他公司则会鼓励员工打个盹，散个步，甚至完全在家里工作。渐渐地，我们会进入这样一个工作环境：我们只会有一个虚拟的办公室，机器人助理可以帮我们回复所有的邮件。不过，那样的工作还有意义吗？
嗯，这么想吧。工作随着时间的推移发生了变化。在地里辛苦劳作的工作方式已在很大程度上让位于折腾有多达37条信息的电子邮件往来，或者是想办法如何在进行PowerPoint演示时，让听众不打瞌睡这些事情上。这些也是辛勤劳作啊。
不过，有一样不会发生变化，那就是我们依旧需要与他人相互合作，共同解决问题。另一件可能也不会发生变化的事就是公司内部的等级制度。所以呢，给你一个小小的建议：你在茶水间谈论老板的时候可要小心了，即使是虚拟的茶水间也一样。
