So do you have a computer? Then you probably have your own Niagara Falls of computer cables pouring off at least one edge of your computer desk.

Is there anything we can do to solve this problem?

Most of us have seen those fancy Velcro ties that companies like APC make. They generally sell in packs of six, with an average cost of one or two dollars per Velcro tie.

The best deal I have seen so far is for a 50 pack of 8" Velcro Reusable Ties for 5$. You can find them in either black or gray. Sometimes I can find them in the stores but most times I have to order then online here.

They aren't as nice as the high end APC manufactured ones, but they are usually more than strong enough.

I think you'll find that you and your army of fifty of your new friends have a much better chance of surviving the battle against the probably fifty evil cable overlords that take over your computer desk.
