This way, the "as small as possible" principle actually does not fit into furniture. It can be lighter and thinner, but a trend in TVs has always been to get bigger. I think we'll hit a balance one of these days where technology and art will meet in the middle and a new standard of size will appear.

I still like a small space to write, but it could be a pull out tray to hold my paper notepad and a pen. The rest of the big, flat surface of a desk is usually just an invitation to create clutter.

The world has moved on from large flat surfaces for writing and the designers haven't. Some of us would really like to see a fully adjustable keyboard/mouse mat/cup holder solution with adjustable stands for screens. As it is now we're still having to buy writing desks with computer stuff bolted on(often at additional cost) its silly. Make something eargonomic designed for the purpose and design it so that businesses can get behind it (not one of these overpriced gamer-pods that some companies have touted as a solution).
