What's happening in your world?

These beings have just finished repairing their bedstand for laptop computers. It is essentially a wooden frame that keeps the laptop lifted about 25cm above the bed when in use. This in turn makes sure that the computer neither overheats nor weighs heavily on the lower chest when used while laying in bed, as the framework shifts the weight over to the bed.
It was originally glued together, but recent work on it broke that apart, so now it is lashed on tightly, then covered in cloth. Next step is to (using rope) weave a platform so that the computer can more easily be placed on it.
