Cable interface connections can feel both like a blessing and a curse. For instance. How many tries does it take for you to plug in your USB cable? For me, it takes three tries – wrong the first time, flip it upside down, and it’s still wrong, back to the first way, then it works. There’s nothing wrong with the USB cable or your fingers – they are just notoriously hard to plug in. But despite that minor inconvenience, they are one of the most common cable connections we use today.

So, you're walking down the street and step what appears to be some sort of cable. You pick it up and notice the familiar oval-shaped connector on both ends.

Your day has now been ruined.

There’s nothing more distracting than a cluttered workstation. Fumbling with power adapters, searching for the right cord, or trying to excavate a clean space on your desk to put a cup of coffee can put a big damper on your productivity when you’re just trying to stay in the creative groove.
