style..less

coming home from work the other day I looked around on the subway and I noticed that almost eveyone has the standard-issue laptop bags made from Teflon or the latest Dupont technology material...some are lucky to carry the latest thing in cube-land: laptop bags with "Telescoping handle and in-line roller skate wheels" these things are honestly the ugliest invention created. Who designs these things? and why do they seem to come up with the exact same colors and materials every time?

what happened to the days of carrying a simple leather briefcase? this is an area of product design that seems to have been completely ignored. ok, I've ranted enough about this. I'm going to try to find some designers who are doing something about this...
