That lunch at your desk in now an workplace norm is one thing. But, “treadmill desks”? Can the toilet-in-a-desk-chair (ergonimically correct, one hopes) be far behind?
UPDATE: For CJR reader Kevin who politely requested a media angle to the above:

NPR explored, “What does the new apparatus say about our multi-tasking society?” in February 2008.
