Gear that come with cords are being bought up by more people. Cell phones, laptops, and iPods come with a slew of hideous cords, but are necessary in basically every Santa Barbara home . Furniture with built in power strips, USB ports, and phone and Internet jacks are now being offered by several companies. Power sources can be hidden almost anywhere, in end tables, work tables, and coffee tables.
A challenge that come with bringing power to end tables and coffee tables is staying away from spills. Can we keep liquids away from the coffee table, just like we are used to keeping them away from the keyboard? Until cell phones and laptops are waterproof, we have got to proceed with caution. This kind of furniture is thought of as a luxury, but will soon become standard.
