Dowager''s humps and Laptops!
This is about the article titled"Regular laptop could prove dangerous" by PTI.
Its
true that man and technology are progressing at a wonderful speed and making great headways benefitting all mankind. But what about the fact that the same is also damaging when not used with caution and good sense? I do believe that in the mad rush for achievement and more achievement, man overlooks so many important issues. What I do mean is that while Life is for man to live and not the other way round, this whole mad rush to make life easier can have just the opposite effect when proper sense is not cautioned. If the Laptop is recommended for the traveller, the overuse by one and all on the move and NOT on the move too, has its damaging effects on the health as pointed out by scientists. Regular use seems to be resulting in orthopaedic problems like pain in the neck, shoulders etc., which is mainly due to looking at the computer screen while slouching and assuming the wrong postures. This in turn also has leads to back pain and muscle problems( that are caused by slouching for long hours).
Perhaps till we learn that
laptops should be used little more discreetely as maybe only while travelling, thus limiting its use(thus respecting its inventor who perhaps made it for this main purpose) thereby also the number of hours(which is perhaps why it was made in the first place) it surely will make a lot of good sense to
exercise the neck and shoulder muscles a little more frequently, and any other exercise that orthopaedics suggest, so as to benefit in everyway. That way surely we will see less of teenagers and people in their 20''s and 30''s minus the unsightly dowager''s humps and limit them to the Dowagers only!!
