Replace Your Deck Chair With a 'Tech Chair'

by Terrence O'Brien on July 11, 2008 at 02:03 PM

Ditch the Deck Chair and Get a Tech Chair
UK electronics purveyor PC World has been showing of its concept of a technology-saturated deck chair that may have many gadget fetishists drooling, but leaves those with more reasonable sensibilities a little perplexed. The chair is made from solar fabric (which we imagine would be uncomfortably warm) for powering MP3 players, laptops, and the like. The top of the chair hides a long range Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antenna for keeping you connected, and the side of the chair is loaded with ports including Firewire and USB as well as dedicated digital camera and media player docks.

If the host of connections isn't enough, then the built-in toys should push you over the edge. The chair has a pair of speakers and an adjustable LCD monitor for watching videos from your media player. At the foot of the tech chair is a questionably useful GPS device. The chair may fold up to suitcase size for easy portability, but we can't imagine a situation that would call for a chair-mounted GPS. [Source: Daily Mail]
