Week 3: Clear

After watching all the lectures, I learned so much about computers that I felt like I should have known before. Now I have a general idea of what certain components look like, they're function, and how it adds to the fluidity of the operating system. But what got my attention was the short little video on Ergonomics. I think that this is a crucial bit of information to anyone who uses a computer for a long period of time.

I learned that Musculoskeletal Disorders account for one third of all work related illnesses which was a shock to me. It can be easily prevented by having a neutral body posture, which is when your body is in natural allignment, using the larger muscle groups (i.e hands over fingers), and maintaing neural posisiton of your wrist. These three simple steps can lead to a productive experience in the office environment or to anyone at home.
