Article Abstract:
Unlike most technology in the home, personal computers do not appear to have had any serious thought put into their design, although art students are beginning to create more interesting exteriors. Produced and designed by engineers, computers are deemed just to be entirely functional products and have been designed to be inoffensive rather than to enhance the surroundings. Royal College of Art students have made some innovations in the design direction which has interested Apple; NEC have also produced some trendy laptops.

In contrast, the design of men's clothing tends to change very little.
