if you follow the tips given below and in the websites below then your computing experience will be so much better. And another problem that people may not be aware of is the isolation computers can cause, you tend to ignore the rest of family and disassociate yourself from them whilst on the computer. Breakups are becoming commoner because of computers, so divide you attentions, dont give it all to the computer.Some tips to followTake regular breaks from the computer, it is recommended that you take a break at least every 20 - 35 mins. And follow this with 5 mins of stretching and movement, the body will start to stiffen up and ache because of the inactivity.When using a computer you need to be comfortable, and using a natural posture. For more on posture visit here, or try here and here for more postures.the classic upright posture is not always best. The reclined posture is the most comfortable, but may not suit you.The placement of your computer monitor can be another cause of discomfort. You should be looking directly at the monitor, and not glancing sideways with your body twisted. It is recommended your head is slightly higher than the screen, so you are looking down (for more help and information see here.
