Technology helps you have what you need with you at all times. Computer, phone, iPod, keys, wallet, e-book? By now, all of these items can fit in a small bag (or maybe even a pocket of some XL pants).

Wires and "workstations" are outdated; we know that electronics don't need to be stationed at your desk, locked in a maze of wires. They're tools to be kept in your pocket or your handbag, whether your goal is to answer an email, or read a 1,000 page book.
