But it may also be inaccurate. It may be preparing us for a world of the past and not the future. The new fusion machines do not have to sit on a desktop. They are so portable they can be carried anywhere. Camcorders are really highly sophisticated .
Musical keyboards are incredibly complicated .
As fusion machines get smaller and smaller they are blasting off from the desktop and soaring like tiny spacecraft into the rest of our lives. We are carrying them in our pockets, briefcases, and purses. We wear them in our ears, hang them on our shoulders. They are merging with cosmetic jewelry and becoming part of many people's life style. In a world of tiny fusion machines office furniture seems like a wooden, clunky metaphor.
