A Time of Magic

In days of old it used to be simple to equip an office. Just buy a nice desk, chair and filing cabinets and you were all set.

These days, of course, office furniture is much more varied and generally needs to be updated too which is a nuisance. Not so long ago everyone ran with desktops so “computer desks” needed somewhere to put that tower not to mention a monster of a monitor. These days many people stick to laptops even in the office but even for those that don’t the towers are a whole lot smaller and that monster monitor is now an even larger flat screen.

There’s not even so much need for those filing cabinets these days as more and more documents move online. So, for example, the human biology course that I’m currently doing comes with course books on paper but also downloadable copies of them (how long will such dual production continue, I wonder?).

You still need that nice chair though. Probably a heavier duty one as we’ve all become a whole lot heavier over the years!
