How to Sit in Front of the Computer

Siting in Front of the Computer

I came across an interesting video, showing how to sit correctly in front of a computer which you can watch below.

Some people bend their back, while sitting in front of their computers.

Others, sit too far away from the screen, which is not healthy for the eyes.

Some, have the screen placed too high or too low. In other cases, there is too much light falling on the screen, making it difficult to read.

All this can be tiring for the eyes, the hands and the back.

Sitting correctly in Front of the Computer Is Important

Sitting correctly in front of the computer is most important, because we use our computer everyday for hours.

The video, without words, and only through animations, shows how to sit correctly. I hope you enjoy watching it.
