Europe's "right to be forgotten" in Google search are just the latest
examples of how quickly perceptions and practices about personal privacy
in the workplace are changing.
Ralph's
pajamas gently vibrate him awake. While he is still in bed, he gestures
into the air, bringing up a computer interface woven into his pajamas.
With a swipe of his hand, he opens his personal space and checks his
biometric dashboard to find out how many steps he needs to walk today to
reach his weight loss goal and whether his cholesterol has dropped.
After a quick shower, he gets dressed, accessorizing with his smart
computing vest, which automatically starts his ultra-dark roast coffee
brewing the moment he puts it on. A father of three, he gestures to open
his private family view, which is showing live video feeds of his kids
waking up.
Interrupted by an alert from his car about traffic delays, he
grabs a cup of coffee and heads for the garage, where he slides into
his car office, closes his personal spaces with a gesture, and opens his
business calendar to prepare for work.
Futuristic? Not so much.
This view of increasingly blurred "personal" and "work" places,
spaces, and time will shortly be upon us. This reality will continue to
challenge our notion of personal privacy, especially in the workplace.
