If you want to feel old (well, if you’re Gen X and older), then try to ask people in a room how many have actually seen or used a typewriter. I’ve been in spaces where they think of those “devices” as ancient relics and have never seen an actual one except in pictures or old videos. There are still places in the Internet where you can actually purchase one, and I don’t mean those electric ones whose keys don’t make the clickety clacky sound.

Even though I’m already in my mid 40-s, the past decade of my life has been all about sneakers. It’s more comfortable, I like most of the designs, and everywhere I go rarely has a dess code so it’s pretty convenient. Sometimes though when I’m going somewhere that needs to be a bit dressy, then I’ll wish that I had a pair of sneakers that’s not too sporty but with a bit of high fashion incorporated into its design.

For those who are particular with how their houses look like, at least interior design wise, lighting probably plays an important role in their planning and execution. Aside from being a source of illumination, well-designed lighting systems are also an architectural statement and sometimes even a conversation starter that commands attention in any space it inhabits.

When I’m at a standing only concert festival or an event that has no available chairs, I sometimes wish I could whip out a seat from my bag. There are of course folding chairs that you can bring around but not all of them are steady or sturdy enough and they’re also pretty bulky. Now the dream is to be able to bring something around that is stable, truly portable, and bonus points if it’s also somehow eco-friendly. The FoldSeat is probably the closest that can meet those requirements.
