Imagine for a moment how you would work on a real desk. Perhaps you want to proofread one document, make a couple of notes somewhere else, and fill out a form as well. Sure, most of us don’t touch a lot of paper these days, but think about those situations when we do. You can place documents on your desk wherever you want, provided your desk is sufficiently large. You have your tools, like the pen and pencil, nearby as well. The only limit to how much stuff you can put on your desk at the same time is the surface area of the desk.
