Currently we catagorize workstation functions on the basis of
the existing tools we now use.  Is it not possible for us to
define a new set of functions that encompasses the current
range of tools/procedures, but is much smaller?  Given this,
we will have to develop a new set of icons to define the new
functions.  If indeed we must define new icons, don't we lose
the existing mental correlation between picture and function?

Perhaps we should look at the whole problem from another angle.
Let us assume that the "intelligent desk" leads us in the
direction of modified worker activity.  I think we should do
another system analysis and see if we can come up with a new
view of the problem: one that has an elegant [simple] solution.
