I mean, photo was taken with a potato. Wifi router on the top, 15" laptop on the desk. Is 2015 really nostalgia worthy?

Kinda. Corner desks are not popular anymore because 90% of the benefits are lost with modern tech.

Like others have said, they were pretty amazing for CRTs. Reminds me of my super cool desk in the early 2000s. Now I wouldn't even consider one.

Probably at least one big reason is that most non techy people switched to laptops which can be used anywhere, so no reason to have a huge computer desk taking space anymore when the dining table or sofa is good enough.

Good point!! And lots of people don't even get those anymore since phones go online
