Need An Extension Cord? How About Pulling Out The Powerpoint Instead?

We've all encountered and hated that the powerpoints sockets are always just barely out of reach when we need them the most. The usual drill thereafter is that we either mutter some vulgarities and fetch an extension cord or just grumble and move nearer to the powerpoint. If both aren't possible, then a big sigh of disappointed, probably followed by more cursing. The team at Yanko Design (Japan), however, had a different approach. So instead of being verbally provocative, they provoked their brains. The result, why not build an extension cord into the powerpoint itself?

By making the powerpoint extend-able, there is no more need to go into a frenzy whenever your laptop battery is out of juice. Simply pull out the powerpoint from the wall socket, plug in your laptop AC unit and everyone's happy. Probably the only thing that the person will be unhappy about is to get out of the chair and pull out the powerpoint, but that's not the fault of this invention anyway. Check out the pictures below, taken from the Yanko Design webpage itself.

An example of a use of the invention. I've encountered the exact same scenario depicted.
