  In this spirit, Steelcase is expanding the entire notion of office furniture."Their job," reports Fast Company, "is to figure out how to furnish the whole world so you can work in it, effortlessly, seamlessly, continuously"-something that any recent traveler can attest has already happened.Airports are outfitted with computer connections, fax machines, and work stations; planes and trains are simply cubicles that happen to be speeding through cumulus clouds and fields of green while you make business calls and work your spreadsheet.And when you arrive at even the most alluring destination, you simply settle into another office away from the office.Marriott hotels have installed more than 20,000 "Rooms that Work" with special desks, phone jacks, ergonomic chairs, and around-the-room Internet access.Hyatt hotels now offer "Plug and Play" Internet access to their customers.

  Being organized today is a greater challenge than in the past, explains Christine Albertini, director of storage for Steelcase Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of high performance work environments.The sheer volume of information available is increasing at an incredible rate, and workers often feel overwhelmed and out of control because of it.Also team meeting spaces have increased and individual workspace size has decreased.This means that office workers must use their workspaces, including storage, more efficiently than before..
  
  Each day, American office workers spend an average of 20.1 minutes organizing their work areas.According to the Steelcase study, most people ages 18 to 54 spend between six and 30 minutes organizing and straightening their work area each day, while people 55 and above spend 15 minutes or under.
  ...
  Plus, workers need to store disks and other media besides paper, so storage is even more of a necessity today, continues Albertini.According to the Steelcase study, office workers report that an average of 44.6 percent of their own information is stored only in an electronic format, 34.4 percent is stored only on paper, and 20.9 percent is stored both electronically and on paper.Curbing the paper trail appears to be easier for office workers under age 55, as these employees limit their paper only storage to about one-third of all their information, while workers 55 years and older store an average of 40.4 percent of their information on paper only.
  
  Although storage space often appears scarce, 56 percent of office workers believe that they and their co-workers use storage and filing furniture very or pretty effectively.However, the survey reveals that more than just mere paper is being stored in employee work areas : 31 percent of office workers keep coats and foul weather gear, 31 percent keep food and beverages, and 25 percent keep non-work related books and magazines.These storage cabinets also hold health and beauty aids (19 percent), shoes (11 percent), and sports gear (eight percent).
