THE OFFICE AS ANACRONIC RESCHOICE

Paper is a thing of the past. The ink? Only in the toner of the printers. Well located and ordered. If the specimen breaks down, it is cheaper to buy another before repairing it. Long live the waste! Up waste!

Once the offices, they were full of handwriting and they thought they were very clever. They were proud, armed behind their plywood table and bureaucratic power. The routine dominated them. His face read boredom on the map of his wrinkles. It was the precedent of braille. However, they were delighted to meet the devout tedium, for it freed them from the mine and the back partition.

Boredom is sometimes pleasure.

Times change, and the empires of the bureaucratic administration and offices of order give rise to other realities. In these, the virtual shakes the real, releasing a good soplamocos to everything that has not been uploaded to the cloud. Blockchain, IA, IOT, IOS and quantum computing, are news ready for the conquest of the world. They will devour its surface like a fat meatballs. Tomorrow may be brilliant, but in this, there will be no place for the tedious and routine clerks.

Neither does he need to.

The robots will be responsible for paperwork and supervision. In the knowledge society, reading and interpreting basic units are not remarkable talents, so a good circuit programmed in Java or Scratch can replace the elbows of a good opposition.

Another victim will be the paper.

For the joy of the trees, the offices will stop swallowing huge masses of cellulose. Digitization, conquer centimeters and inches to gain empires on the earth. Other beneficiaries will be eucalyptus trees and fast growing trees, born to die and converted into DIN A4.

We will see the forests grow free, without evergreen acid spoiling the litter.

All in all, one could rejoice at the death of the office. A freedom to process from home, armed with your laptop, and able to grant pardons to numerous tree species. In addition, the clerks could be recycled in other tasks, because the current society opens the way to a world of alternatives where to develop other talents.

The robots will bury us alive. But there will always be the universal basic income.
