A convertible work station is operable to convert between an operating configuration and a storage configuration. The work station comprises: right and left base shoulder elements; right and left horizontal base members for supporting the work station on a surface, pivotally connected to the shoulder elements and constrained to pivot along a horizontal plane and lockable in position relative to the shoulder elements; right and left first support members spaced apart from each other and having first and second ends and the support members being pivotally connected to the respective right and left shoulder elements at their first ends and constrained to pivot in one direction. The support members are lockable in position relative to the shoulder elements. A work station component is pivotally connected to the second ends of the right and left support members.

1. A convertible work station, operable to convert between an operating configuration and a storage configuration, comprising: right and left base shoulder elements;right and left horizontal base members for supporting the work station on a surface, pivotally connected to the shoulder elements and constrained to pivot along a horizontal plane and lockable in position relative to the shoulder elements;right and left first support members spaced apart from each other and having first and second ends, the support members being pivotally connected to the respective right and left shoulder elements at their first ends and constrained to pivot in one direction, the support members lockable in position relative to the shoulder elements; anda work station component pivotally connected to the second ends of the right and left support members;wherein the work station converts between the operating and storage configuration via the pivotable connections between the shoulder elements and the support members and base members, each support member comprising two identical ends, each end comprising a first circular perimeter having a symmetrical pattern with mirror image symmetry configured for engaging another identical support member's end, the first circular perimeter defining a plane that faces perpendicular to a long dimension of the support member; a second circular perimeter having a symmetrical pattern with mirror image symmetry configured for engaging another identical support member's end, the second circular perimeter defining a plane that faces perpendicular to a long dimension of the support member; a hollow interior allowing passage between the first and second circular perimeters; and a curved shaft connected between the ends and having a channel that is open to the outside of the shaft and defining a trench, the trench continuous with the identical ends and each of the identical ends of the support member having a gap that is open to the outside of the support member where the trench meets each of the ends. 2. The convertible work station of claim 1, wherein the first support members are configured to pivot in one plane and wherein the work station component comprises: right and left second support arms pivotally connected at their first ends to the respective seconds ends of the right and left first support members, and constrained to pivot in the same plane as the first support members are configured to pivot in;third support arm pivotally connected at its first end between the right and left second support arms at their second ends; andan attachment piece connected to the third support arm at its second end for connecting a work station object to the work station;a plurality of locking mechanisms for locking the pivotable connections in place;wherein the work station converts between the operating and storage configurations via the pivotable connections. 3. The convertible multimedia work station of claim 2, wherein the work station component further comprises a platform connected to the work station between the first support arms at the second ends of the first support arms. 4. The convertible work station of claim 2, further comprising a display connected to the workstation between the first support arms and between the left and right shoulder elements. 5. The convertible multimedia work station of claim 1, further comprising a computer hardware case containing a processing unit and memory, wherein the computer hardware case is connected to the workstation between the first support arms and between the left and right shoulder elements along a bottom edge of the hardware case. 6. The convertible work station of claim 1, further comprising a platform connected to the workstation between the first support arms and between the left and right shoulder elements. 7. The convertible work station of claim 1, wherein the work station component comprises a curved member having two ends connected between the first support members, configured for attaching a work station object at either end of the curved member. 8. The convertible work station of claim 7, wherein curved member has one end attached to a display and a second end to attached a platform, the curved member connected between the first and second support members and is pivotable between the first support members and lockable in a desired position. 9. A universal support member comprising: two identical ends, each end comprising: a first circular perimeter having a symmetrical pattern with mirror image symmetry configured for engaging an identical universal support member's end, the first circular perimeter defining a plane that faces perpendicular to a long dimension of the support member;a second circular perimeter having a symmetrical pattern with mirror image symmetry configured for engaging an identical universal support member's end, the second circular perimeter defining a plane that faces perpendicular to a long dimension of the support member;a hollow interior allowing passage between the first and second circular perimeters; anda curved shaft connected between the ends and having a channel that is open to the outside of the shaft and defining a trench, the trench continuous with the identical ends and each of the identical ends of the support member having a gap that is open to the outside of the support member where the trench meets each of the ends. 10. A convertible work station constructed with universal support members of claim 9, operable to convert between an operating configuration and a storage configuration, comprising: right and left base shoulder elements;right and left horizontal base members for supporting the work station on a surface, pivotally connected to shoulder struts and constrained to pivot along a horizontal plane and lockable in position relative to the shoulder elements;right and left first support members spaced apart from each other and having first and second ends, the support members being pivotally connected to the respective right and left shoulder elements at their first ends and constrained to pivot in one direction, the support members lockable in position relative to the shoulder elements; anda work station component pivotally connected to the second ends of the right and left support members;wherein the horizontal base members and the first support members comprise the universal support member of claim 9;wherein the work station converts between the operating and storage configuration via the pivotable connections between the should arms and the support members and base members. 11. A work station comprising: two support members comprised of the support member of claim 9;a computer hardware case containing a processing unit, memory and network hardware, disposed between the two support members;an attachment piece connected to the work station and disposed between the support members at first ends of the members and configured for connecting a display to the work station. 12. A plurality of work stations of claim 11, wherein the work stations are connected to a stationary support cylinder at their second ends, the work stations further comprising a platform connected to an end of the attachment piece.
