OurWorldTalks: a blog on the interesting things around our world.

Have you ever seen how someone could use 20 monitors at their workstation? Try looking at the picture and count how many monitors are there. Now imagine if you are using 20 monitors at your workstation, will that be efficient for you? or will it be even worst off then what you have now?

The picture shows hedge fund manager Adam Sender showing off his new office and trading station setup. Background on Adam Sender: Sender began trading stocks in 1989 at the University of Michigan. By 1998, he was making tens of millions of dollars a year — he had founded his own firm after trading for Cohen's SAC Capital — and was looking for a new place to put funds.

I'm not sure how realistic this picture is, though I've seen traders working with about 6 screens, but not 20 screens! How realistic can someone be monitoring the screen when they have more than 10 screens? I'm inclined to argue that the guy on the picture has a serious problem of trying to show off his workstations! Interesting!
