Computers Shrinking Office Spaces

Have you noticed how modern-day offices look so spacious?

Gone are the days when office design resembles that of a shoe box with holes on the sides. Many companies are already spending millions for interior design. It’s not surprising then that a good number of the rooms featured in interior design magazines are actually office spaces.

One of the reasons why the traditional paper and cabinet-filled office floor transformed into the more hip and spacious café-look of today is because of the computer. Work places used to be so cramped because of the humungous desks and file cabinets that littered the room. It was said that you could gauge the productivity of a person by looking at the number of papers filed or stacked on his desk. That’s not true anymore.

Gigabyte hard drives have driven storage closets and cabinets out of the office. Paper trays are practically non-existent in some work places as 3.5 inch storage devices have already replaced them.
