More and more individuals are buying gear that use cords. Cell phones, laptops, and iPods come with a number of unsightly cords, but are a necessity in almost every Irvine home . Many companies are now creating furniture with built in power strips, USB ports, and phone and Internet jacks. Power sources can be concealed anywhere, in nightstands, work tables, and coffee tables.
Staying away from spills on night stands and coffee tables is one challenge that comes with power outlets. We are trained to keep liquids away from the keyboard, but can we keep them away from the coffee table? Until cell phones and laptops are waterproof, we should proceed with caution. This style of furniture is thought of as a luxury, but will soon become standard.
