Stay Healty In front of Computer

All very good points - thank you. You can add the problems that occur with wrists - as people develop carpal tunnel syndrome from staying too long in front of a computer typing.

Thanks for the advice.

I totally agree, and i hope that a lot of people see your great topic! I do try very hard to remember to blink when I'm sitting here for long periods. It might sound strange, but you really can start forgetting to blink when you get to concetrating, and I have a lot of eye problems already, including my eyes getting dry, and I've had to learn to rememeber to get myself to blinking when I know that I've been concentrating on something like the computer monitor for awhile. I am very guilty of not getting up every thirty minutes. In fact, sometimes I don't get up for 3-4 hours. I know that this isn't good for a person's eyesight, but I just can't seem to drag myself away from the computer sometimes. LOL.

very good tips i liked it the most being software engg. i sit for 5-7 hrs at a stretch on computers for the practise and development programs now i will have a breaks for a min or so. thanks for the tips

Very good topic! This topic has some resemblance on me. I stay in front of the PC 24 hours a day. I don't really understand myself how it is tiresome to use computer for such a long hours. But in reality it hurts a lot! I am addicted to computer and it has both good and bad outcomes. Sometimes my backbone pains and it hurts a lot. But I have learned a lot from using the same. I have a record of sitting 24 hours ( without moving ) in front of the PC. Its just a stupid thing to do. Anyways nice topic!
