Office trends cycle every 7 years from cubicles to open offices and back

And we have reached the end of the cycle where 1995 cubicles are becoming cool again

Took 28 years

I am convinced trends somehow happen in 7 year periods

1995-2002 cubicles good
2009-2016 cubicles bad -> open offices good
2016-2023 open offices annoying
2023-2030 open offices bad -> cubicles good again
