The Daily Mail reports that neck and back injuries are climbing with the boom in laptop sales. It seems that laptop users are using the computers--surprise--on their laps, causing them to look down at the screen, rather than level with their forehead. That positioning of the screen seems to be the culprit leading to these physical ailments.
I must admit to being one of those laptop laptop users, er, ah, using my notebook computer on my lap. It also can lead to stress as discussed in a recent post. If you are one of the millions of consumers who are switching to a portable computer as your primary computer, you may want to seriously consider adding a docking station so that you can work safely and pain-free for years to come.
