New reality

It is argued that, as a result of modern communication techniques, a displacement took place; the internet made it possible to increase the distance between living and working because people could also work from home (answer emails, prepare lessons, etc.). As a result, the number of workplaces has been greatly reduced: 1 place per employee became 1 place per 3 or 4 employees. The open-plan office was created as an interim solution. If all colleagues came to campus, there would be a huge shortage of workplaces. However, because of Corona we all got our own office again, at home, with bookcases, super computers, furnished and decorated by ourselves in our own chosen environment.
