Bill Gates says that working remotely loses spontaneity, but preparing a second monitor can help spontaneous. He says he should be able to watch the video of his colleagues in the home office on the second monitor. "If anyone can speak, click on the person to enlarge and start chatting," he says. At the beginning of the arrow, which was thought to be able to return to the office, the emergence of the new Coronavirus Omicron strain has once again needed to work at home. However, for those who miss the environment in the office, a solution proposed by Bill Gates may be useful. With the spread of new Omicron strains, companies have begun to postpone their employees' return to office. Some countries, like the United Kingdom, are encouraged by the government to work as remotely as possible. The most prominent that business leaders and employees appeal to remote work is the effect of staff collaboration. Some say that if you don't have the opportunity to talk to the people next to you, your ideas and creativity will be lost, and young staff will miss the opportunity to learn. Gates suggests that the solution is to prepare a second monitor and set a feed that shows his colleagues's face. He is the founder and charity of Microsoft, and considers the issues of home from home and how the pandemic hindered their work on a blog posted on December 7, 2021. There is. Bill Gates wrote that the biggest thing that workers would lose without being in the office were "spontaneous", and many people started working at home and have no voluntary exchange. "You will not intend to have an unexpected conversation with your colleagues in the living room in the first place," he is interested in how to create spontaneity in more "more" technology and try to reproduce it at home. He says that a new innovation may be born. Gates states that if people prepare cheap monitors, and if there is a place to put them, they will be able to watch the video of all colleagues sitting in the home office. "If you look at the screen, you can see what everyone is doing (but may be off the camera because you want to protect your privacy)," Gates wrote. "If there is a person who seems to be able to talk, click on the person's image to enlarge and start chatting." Gates is not fundamentally different from today's collaboration mechanism, so it is already there. He says that there is a bandwidth and software. However, this solution does not apply to everyone. Some remote workers are tired of video calls. Stanford University's research report presumed that one of the causes of "Zoom fatigue" is one of the causes of his face is always reflected. Professor Nick Bloom, who studied remote work during the pandemic period at Stanford University, said that if the team wants to work together, it is better to make multiple calls instead of group calls. 。
