The future homes and workplaces would need a few things to be sustainable or ongoing and long lasting. Water is necessary, we've already gone from sugary beverages and carbonated drinks to mostly flat beverages with flavor drops. This includes concepts like teas, powders, or things that can be mixed with the water to give it flavor, color, or texture.
Before this humans had already began to drink things like vitamin waters, flavored waters, sports drinks, and other beverages that focus on hydration.
Like all things that have changed with humans lately, this is likely an evolution or adaptation. Humans likely don't need things like caffeines and sugar very much anymore. Some humans don't need caffeine at all but still like sugar or the other way around.
Water will be an essential item for humans to have near their homes or workplaces. Many people wonder if this can be made with a machine that creates water in the home. It would need much debate over the effects on the environment, if it would be healthy, and if it would be worth it for humans to build that type of equipment.
Food can be grown in the home for many items such as vegetables. Other items such as fruit are a little harder to grow in the home but can be grown nearby in a nursery. The grocery stores of the future may actually be fruit orchards with vegetable seeds to grow at home. This is agriculture.
Space can include several things including homes and workplaces. It can also include space which is past the outer atmosphere of Earth. It would be neccessary to enter space to land on the moon; or to enjoy a trip to mars, over a 6 months journey.
All of this takes time, which is a set of math formulas. Time is used to measure things like the spin of the Earth, the orbit around the Sun, the numbers that pass as a person leaves Earth and gets ready to land on the Moon. Or, the time that passes as a person is on that trip to Mars.
Those are things that are important for the future in our workplaces and homes. Water, agriculture, space, and time. All of this requires measuring the resources we need to be prepared for the future.
