I wonder how the constant use of my computer is going to change my posture or affect my health. \u00a0Some days I feel shooting pain up my entire arm because of so many mouse clicks. \u00a0Can someone say, “carpal tunnel?” \u00a0I think my posture at the computer is not ergonomically correct because I’m still hunched over even though my elbows are at a 90′ to the keyboard. \u00a0I’m 5’10 and have to always be conscious of my posture anyway especially when talking to little people aka 8 and 9 year olds. \u00a0I wonder if the physiology of man will change over time because of the interaction with electronics? \u00a0Will we re-volve back to a hunchback state? After a quick Google search, it seems like back pain, sleep disorders, obesity, poor attention span, eye strain and even depression can be caused from too much computer use.<\/span><\/p>\n
