"So we embraced the fundamental truth that sitting at a desk or standing in one position is not what human bodies were made for."
That's pretty cool, but I'd love to see more serious research to support this claim. There was a tendency for people to work standing up[0]. I, for example, when I need to do things fast I prefer to do the work standing up, but I end up getting very anxious, so I can not work that way for too long.
During meetings that use the Sprint process[1], not all people like to be seated, but this should be because everyone should participate in the whole process.

- RobertoG 9y agoI think that the answer to the fundamental truth about what humans were made for is 'walking'. Maybe, the office environment of the future is about hunting and recollecting business goals.
- njarboe 9y agoOr more precisely: having a physiology best suited to walk/run mode was an evolutionary advantage for most humans. Maybe we can tinker with our genome to produce a sit-mode optimized human in the future, if desired. For me personally, I would rather be able to hike all day, thank you.
