About my desk
The desk itself is light-gray, very plain Fluxograma desk I won on a TV show when I was a kid, together with a top-of-the-line compaq presario and other stuff. The desktop quickly became obsolete, but the desk is the best one I’ve worked on.
I try to have only my computer (+external monitor, keyboard and trackball) on it, but due to this society’s dependence on paper, some documents get some private time with my desk. And once one sheet of paper accommodates, a lot of them start to join. All in one stack.
Outside people may say that stack is a pile of unorganized junk, but it is in fact organized, on a reverse-chronogical structure. I know where things are based on how far away the moment of “archiving” them is on my memory.
But I still hate to have paper. And I don’t have a scanner to process it. Nowadays, I find cameras much more suitable to record printed stuff.
In the future I believe desks will themselves be a multitouch surface, acting as a secondary display for the main screen on the wall, mainly focused on input.
