As a proud Gen X’er, I spent my childhood glued to Saturday morning cartoons watching The Jetsons. We were promised flying cars, food capsules, and push-button robots that looked after our every need. While we aren’t zipping around in glass bubble pods quite yet, when it comes to personal longevity and wellness technology, we have officially arrived.

Puzzles have quietly become one of the best ways to get everyone in the same room without a screen in sight. The trouble is where to actually do them. Start a 1,000-piece puzzle on the dining table and it either has to come down before dinner or the whole family eats around the edges of it for a week.
