Hot desking became prominent in the 1990′s to describe sharing a workspace.  This originated from “hot bunking” which was a naval term used to describe sharing a bunk when out at sea.  Hot Desking [to hotdesk] is where workers do not have their own desks, but are allocated work space according to their needs.

Now with the price of mobile devices going down, and the increase in accessibility to mobile internet, many workspaces are being tailored  to laptops/notebooks as a primary computer.

Humanscale, being the leader in office ergonomics and the pioneer of advanced notebook stands has teamed up with Niels Diffrient again.  They have designed another task light, now with power and internet called Humanscale Diffrient Technology Light Table Lamp.
