[[WMG: Two different sentient species share the Earth of The Office]]
"The Cameras" are a second sentient species within the universe of The Office, they are human looking creatures who can record events exactly like a video camera does in our world. Their memories are flawless and can easily be converted from brain waves to video feed. They mostly work in the entertainment industry. Some people are more used to this creatures than others, when some characters seem to react more visibly to the presence of "the cameras", it actually means they are a variety of racist, or spesist that feels uncomfortable with these other species. Michael Scott, who thinks of himself as an entertainer, of course is the one that feels more comfortable with these "camera people". The main difference from our universe with that of The Office is that Reality Shows can last years, even entire generations, thanks to the fact that the "camera crew" is basically a single individual who is recording with his or her own eyes. In fact, the "camera people" may be a sub species of humans that are indistinguishable from us, which allows them to be present at events where actual camera crews could not be present, such as Michael's negotiations with Jan for a pay rise, Jan thought it was just a Dunder Miffling clerk, when it actually was one of the "camera people" who are working on The Office reality show, and had infiltrated Corporate to get juicier bits. As of the end of season 7, no "camera people" working on The Office reality show has infiltrated the Sabre Headquarters.
People is mostly used to the notion that they can be being filmed at all times by the "camera people", and the notion of having to sign waivers to allow their image to be on film is non existent in The Office universe, that being the reason we never see people with blurred faces. The "camera people" may be required by law to reveal themselves as such when working, but they may not always do so, if it benefits the filming. Also, the "camera people" undergoes, since very young, a conditioning to actually see genitals and female nude breasts as pixelated patches, and to hear some swear words as beeping sounds.
The Office reality show is of a format that is intended to be aired after some 10 to 15 years of material ha been recorded by "camera people", shows on that format are happening all over the place in that universe.

Phyllis apparently gave away a baby when she was in high school. Erin never knew her parents and is assumed to be an orphan. Phyllis is in her mid-to-late-40s, so she would have been in high school around 30 years ago. Erin appears to be in her late-20s or early-30s. ''Hmmm''.

Think about it, this is one of the only ways that can really explain how so many episodes are able to feature such intimate personal lives of the employees and the tons and tons of FridgeLogic revolving around the show. Dunder Mifflin was constructed under a toxic runoff, which has seeped into their water supply leading the entire cast to believe that there's an invisible camera person documenting their entire lives making them PerfectlyParanoid. This also explains why many outsiders like David, Holly and Erin never once question the fact that there would be a camera crew at a paper company- they just [[ObfuscatingStupdity secretly roll with it]].

[[WMG: David Brent will be back]]
Since Carrel is going to leave the show, Michael Scott will either be fired or retire, and get a happy ending with Holly. Then Dunder Mifflin/Sabre will hire a new regional manager for the office, and that new regional manager will be David Brent. After all, Brent did asked Michael if Dunder Mifflin was hiring. They will be hiring, once Michael is gone.
Okay, that's mostly wishful thinking. But it would be awesome, even if it would be planned to last only for one season, or a few episodes at the beginning of the 8th.

With Steve Carrel officially leaving after the upcoming season, it seems logical to end the series with Michael leaving for whatever reason.
