It seems to me that the question propagates the idea that the 'Future of Work' will continue on some kind of continuum that has been on this trajectory for a few hundred years.

Even the Craiyon images (admittedly, it’s a smaller data set than Dall-E 2) suggest that 'it' is one or more 'knowledge workers' with one or more computing device(s) working in teams.

Is that it? Really?

Is it not so that the progress of technology will ultimately define the evolution of the workspace? Be that remote or office based. You only have to glance at bleeding edge operating room technology now to see how the former (tech) leads the latter (in this case, better outcomes for complex surgical challenges). It’s all in the equipment, which ultimately puts the people using it first.

This just in from a friend in email:

"Funny how quickly we forget the minerals that need to be mined and the real-world interactions that are needed to make computers meaningful!"
