I haven&#x27;t worked in an office in 10 years.  If I do visit one I find it takes incredible discipline to actually sit down at your desk and work, and not take part in all the water cooler-ing that goes on.<p>I have made friends with people I have never been ina room with.  We talk about the weekend, sports, tell jokes, etc. all over video chat.  If you aren&#x27;t creating that informality, it&#x27;s the people not the tech.
