The MouseFork and KeyboardKnife sound great, but those would require too much dexterity from the average computer user. A better approach would be to integrate computer monitors with robotic arms. You could control the robotic arms by running a program on your computer, and it could feed you, wipe your mouth, adjust your glasses and comb your hair without interrupting your interaction with the computer. Your hands would never have to move more than a few inches as you manipulate the keyboard and mouse.
@Dave Hein, The program requires a mobile robot to retrieve a refreshing drink from the 'fridge' to hand-off to the robotic arms. The arms would have a supply of straws close by.
So you would just need a stack of instant noodle packages on one side of the monitor and the Red Bull cans stacked up on the other side of the monitor. The robot arm program would just need to know the locations of the stacks and the quantity in each stack. It could automatically order more provisions when you get down to the last few items in each stack. Of course, if you want the Red Bull chilled you will need to set a mini-fridge on your desk.

No robot is coming near me with a comb. Too much like mother trying to make me look presentable:)

Of course, the all-time greatest invention to come out of Japan is actually the Chndogu.

Seems my MouseFork might be a piece of Chindōgu. I'm so proud. Only it seems you actually have to make one to qualify.
Hi everbody.
And since confession is allegedly good for the soul, please tell us how many of your own inventions are really Chindōgu.
