This Is Your Office in the Year 2020

In the distant year 2020, you'll speed to work in your flying car and a robot maid named Rosie will do all your work for you.

Not so fast -- this isn't The Jetsons. But today's connected world would seem like science fiction to the typical person living just a few decades ago. So what advances will we make by the start of the next decade? Surely there will be changes to your daily routine as technology moves forward. What will your computer look like? Will everyone in the office receive a jetpack as a signing bonus?

You won't find jetpacks in the gallery above, unfortunately. But you should familiarize yourself with your 2020 office, because you'll be spending a lot of time there. In fact, a recent poll found that 42% of executives expect employees to work more hours over the next decade, and only 9% expect them to work less.

During that time you'll likely see your office empty out as more co-workers opt to telecommute from home. Or maybe you'll prefer to work at home yourself. Either way, your surroundings will change. To learn more about your workspace in 2020, check out the gallery above.
