I used to find open floor plans the most annoying thing in the world. People would pop up behind/around me unannounced. However, since we started using slack, such annoyance has declined dramatically. I wonder what will happen to office planning with better communication tools around.

The tools exist, and have for a long time. But unless you're the boss, there's little you can do to get people to use them.

Even IF you are the boss it's difficult to force people to use communication tools. We've tried a bunch of different things for our company and the only one that actually stuck was Slack (for some reason).

Now just imagine if you were leveraging technology correctly, and you had your own more or less private 100 sq ft?
