Proper body posture
when typing is "key" to avoiding injuries!
But the proximity of a notebook's keyboard to its screen
forces you to assume incorrect and painful positions.
If the notebook screen is at eye level, the keyboard
is too high. If the keyboard is at the correct typing
level, the screen is too low. Also it is too close to
the eyes.
So what can you do?
Use a separate keyboard and
mouse - with most notebooks you can just plug them
in.
Then put the notebook on something
to raise the screen up to the normal position of a monitor.
This is the cheapest solution
if your notebook has a good screen.
OR
Use a separate monitor and
the notebook's keyboard. Most notebooks have a socket
for an external monitor.
OR
Use both a separate monitor and
keyboard and mouse, connected to your notebook.
Then the notebook can be positioned
anywhere.
g up your workstation correctly will reduce most of the causes
of pain and discomfort from sitting at a computer.
