Professors Without Borders

At Telford College, in Scotland, wireless networking could be putting an end to personal space.

The college’s new campus, located on the Edinburgh waterfront, will eschew personal offices in favor of a "hot-desking" environment—two open, spacious rooms where everyone from lecturers to high-level administrators will share a wireless network. Campus officials say they’re excited about the plan, but critics say it’s ridiculous to expect administrators to function without desk drawers, file cabinets, and the like. (The Scotsman)
