Ironically, how ordinary desks had been immuned to the "virus' of technological advancement for so long. Many high tech gadgets had been place on top of it, and despite the fact that many PC are often referred as "Desktop". But yet, the desk still remained the most primitive piece of human creation. When will they give us such a deskoid robotic "Active Furniture", Do we have to wait for Ikea to merge with Microsoft?

As you can see, the table-top of this robot behave sort of like a motherboard for external devices. All kinds of common PC external devices can be mounted on this securly, For small table on the move, this makes mounting and dismounting devices a quick snap. All the PC related peripherals can be snapped into one physical entity, but yet remain modularly flexible. Borg Cube is the only machine that I know also behave this way.
