Healthy Geeks?

Submitted by paulallen on 11 March, 2008 - 16:19.

I ran a 10 minutes geek session at the conference on Healthy Computing, nearly the conference participants went by the session.

I was so shocked that when asked the question “How many people believe they have had a health problem related to their computer use? “ over 60% of the people said yes! These ranged from eye fatigue to full blown RSI. 40% of people also used computers for, on average over 7 hours a day.

Deal with any problems early and don’t ignore them.

Have a look at this article to start with http://www.icthubknowledgebase.org.uk/healthandsaf...

Thank you to Lucian Borcanescu for stepping in to run the another Healthy Computing session on the Friday.

We have got to keep this on our own agenda and raise awareness of individual adoptions and the accessibility needs of users

Please look after yourselves out there or how we going to change the World!
