Abstract

The Office of the Future can be simply defined as the bringing together of all means of communications — voice, text, data images and graphics — into one co‐ordinated system. Beginning with the inventions of the telegraph and the telephone over 100 years ago, individual pieces of equipment became progressively available to make each means of communication easier. However, until recently very little was done to improve them; nor was the technology available to combine them and to make them consistently readily accessible. The advent of the silicon chip and micro‐technology now permit equipment and systems to be developed which bring about far more efficient office communications.
