You are on a computer right now.
It has a desktop.
Share it with the world.

Send in desktops from your computers at home, work, school, etc. Check out the posts in greater detail by clicking on the images. Spread the love by sharing this site and/or stealing someone's desktop and sending it in with an explanation. Humor is always encouraged, but certainly not necessary.

SEND ME A SCREENSHOT OF YOUR DESKTOP WITH A BRIEF EXPLANATION AND YOUR LOCATION by following the easy instructions below. If it doesn't work, go here and figure it out - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot

On a PC:
Minimize everything so that your desktop is showing. Grab a print screen of your desktop by pressing the "print screen" button (it's in the top right of your keyboard). Then open up microsoft paint (programs>accessories>paint). Paste the image in there by simultaneously pressing ctrl and "V". Save it as a bmp. Then send it over to me, thedesktopexperiment@gmail.com. In your email, INCLUDE A FEW WORDS ABOUT YOUR DESKTOP. Maybe you'd like to explain the background image, give an anecdote, or just include something totally random. Just make sure to say if it's a home, office, work, public, etc computer.

On a Mac:
Minimize everything so that your desktop is showing. Grab a print screen of your desktop by simultaneously pressing "Shift, Command, 3". This will save your desktop as a picture file on your desktop labeled "Picture 1". Attach that to an email and send it to me at thedesktopexperiment@gmail.com. In your email, INCLUDE A FEW WORDS ABOUT YOUR DESKTOP. Maybe you'd like to explain the background image, give an anecdote, or just include something totally random. Just make sure to say if it's a home, office, work, public, etc computer.

Tell all your friends around the world and tell them to tell their friends as well.
