Today, computers enable us to key endlessly, without the slightest hesitation. Job expectations and the flow of work encouraged just that. Deadlines dominate production quotas and schedules exert new pressures on masses of people.

At work, we can go for hours without stepping away from the computer, whether it be a pc, laptop or tablet, unless it is absolutely necessary – toilet break, get the umpteenth cup of coffee, otherwise we are hypnotized by the screen either doing the task at hand, emails, social media or just surfing the net. Working this way not only drains our energy but also affects our ability to focus and keep us from being most productive.

In truth, we are spending too much time glued to our screens. But the sad reality, all this TECHNOLOGY is play havoc with our health.

Computer work can be challenging. Like many jobs using any technology device may require:

• Concentration
• Close visual work
• Frequent eye movement
• Extended periods of sitting
• Prolonged use of hands, wrists and fingers
• Unaccustomed posture

These and other factors can add up to make computer work physically stressful. But – it doesn’t have to be! “SMALL CHANGES CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE”
