| How is standing up new or fashion? Someone told me an architect studio was selling old stuff and we could probably be interested on some things so we could pay a visit... I was socked when I saw they were replacing an entire room of drawing tables that architects used standing up, with computers that people used sitting down. With the drawing tables there were stools. It was normal in chemical labs, repair shops, teachers giving a class, lots of places. You could sit when you wanted, you could stand when you wanted. That is how I had been working for years, with my computer at eyes' level, with a stool I could sit when I want. Half the time I stand, half I sit without really sitting down, I just support my weight on the stool. So because mouse and keyboard computers are hard to move like we do and are not very ergonomical, we degrade ourselves to computer level: we stare to near displays and don't move at all for hours. For me it is not a long term solution. Improvements will happen over time. |
