If you're scared that your boss might not find you productive enough while using the computer, would you ever consider using this tool?
What exactly is this contraption? Before clicking "continue reading", guess what this tool is for.
a. A computer-activated duct tape belt for keeping post-its always within your reach, as in on your body.
b. A partly invisible computer-programmed guitar that plays your to-do list every time you get distracted.
c. A belt that holds your laptop in place claiming that using it promotes a healthy workplace.
d. A computer-based memory-enhancer visor for people with short-term memory loss problems.
The answer is C - It's called Hip Office (aka Lindo) - a belt designed by Henning Kunow, that's supposed to be an ergonomic tool for people who would like to use their laptops whether they're walking, sitting or standing. Seriously!
Here's the proof.
I don't think the designer did his homework well or was mistaken when he interpreted the tendencies of workaholic people. Is there someone who's that workaholic?
My guess was letter A! You got me there. But I can't believe there's actually such a product. Who would want it? Who would actually need it in the first place? Isn't it a little dangerous to be absorbed in your laptop while walking? The standing part, I think is still possible... But seriously, really?
