Is Your Laptop Hurting Your Health? By Pauliina Roe, http://www.doubleii.com/LapGenie.html Laptop computers are a bad design, ergonomically. When you work with a laptop on your lap, the laptop forces you to bend your neck downward to see the screen, and your keyboard isn't in a good position for your wrist. All these positions can cause problems. When you look down at the screen, you put strain on both your neck and your back. Ask someone with a bad back - it can be painful. The wrist isn't in a good position to type - and can promote or aggravate the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. There is also the problem of heat - the laptop, whether plugged in or running on a battery - can build up heat that makes the laptop very hot on your lap. Dust build-up inside the laptop can aggravate the amount of heat. You should regularly blow compressed air through the vent holes on the laptop. Heat can cause not only scalding on the lap, and discomfort, but also can cause fertility problems in men. There are ways to help with the laptop usage, to make it more comfortable and healthy. You might be able to find some sort of heat sink to distribute the heat away from the laptop. You can find a laptop desk to position your laptop better - get the heat off of you while lifting the keyboard to a good position, and lifting the screen to a higher position so you don't have to look down at it. Sometimes your desk at home can place the laptop in a better position, but optimally you should have the keyboard lower than the screen, with the screen at eye level. Most laptops cannot be positioned in an optimal way to be ergonomically correct, but you can make some effort to get it in a better position to keep more comfortable. Just try to raise the screen toward eye level, and keep the keyboard lower so your wrist can be parallel to your elbow as much as possible. If you feel symptoms of pain or stress when using a laptop, give it a break and use a regular computer for awhile, until your symptoms subside. ~~~~~~~~~~ Pauliina Roe is LapGenie representative - LapGenie is an ingenious laptop desk that can position your laptop to as close to ergonomically correct as possible, plus take care of the laptop heat problem.
