Ergonomics
|
Ergonomics is designing your work spaces to be the most comfortable and supportive for your tasks. We have many work spaces around the home to pay attention to, besides our workplace.. Ergonomics and posture to me are closely related. As they are both are related to our use and how we function. Ergonomics is maintaining optimum use and posture as we do work with least amount of extra stressors on our physical body.
The quote to the right is ironic since laptop computers are ergonomic nightmares as we are either stooping over or in positions that are not conducive to our health to get in a comfortable typing and viewing angles.
