Company Mission Statement: If waiters and waitresses can, You can! 

I think those researchers have got it all wrong: chairs are a thing of the past -- we should all stand throughout our working day. But desks are a thing of the past too. They are so 20th century. 

People should be made to walk around, balancing their laptop on one arm, and their bottle of mineral water and/or frappuccino coffee and/or anything else they may need on the other arm, thus moving around seamlessly and creatively around a futuristic, environmentally functional, Feng-Shui-designed open-plan office that is also a play area for adults and children alike, therefore addressing the dynamic and organic needs of The Space-Time.

PS The Space-Time is a new concept currently trending on Twitter and Instagram that encompasses space, time, and everything in between. In other words, it gives meaning to Everything and is so, so super-meaningful, mega-cool, and like, useful. If you don't believe me, just Google it.

Standing desks. Media and fans raved about them, even though little solid scientific evidence supports their alleged ergonomic and health benefits. In fact, many scientific studies show that they cause lower back pain and have other negative effects, like putting pressure on your skeletal and circulatory systems and increasing the risk of deep thrombosis and varicose veins. Now, a new research paper suggests standing desks have a negative effect on our cognitive abilities, too. [PS: It also gives you piles.]

A research team from Curtin University, in Perth, Western Australia, observed 20 subjects working for two hours on standing desks. The results–published in the journal Ergonomics–show negative impacts on both their bodies and their minds.
