I know where this is going to end: When a pointy-haired boss wants a meeting, he claps his hands and all the employees are abducted from their cubicles.

They left off the manacles and self-ignition that would really make these chairs such fun to hack.

AcmeCo is sad to share with you that our entire Board of Directors has passed on. In their most recent meeting the outstanding quarterly earnings were announced inspiring excited applause. At which point the automatic chairs went haywire and crushed their occupants against the conference table.
Despite the chairs’ protests, they will be disassembled before a new board is elected.

I just showed this video to a friend who works in a college library and she said “OMG I need that!” I guess chair organization is a major daily chore.

Much better than installing individual trap doors under every chair. They could even be programmed to do a goodbye lap around the table before heading to the disposal to really hammer it home.

This would more than likely be an IT nightmare because chairs see a lot of heavy use and making sure they keep running reliably would be a hassle. How about we just keep chairs as chairs and call it a day.

How about books that shelve themselves - I’m sure she would think she needs that.
What she needs is a robot assistant, not a robot in everything.

I have a radical idea. How about we give the libraries a Decent Budget so they can hire people to do the chair-putting-away and the book-shelving, and not have to stress about keeping the library running on an ever shrinking amount of money…
