ERGONOMY = Desk at the correct height. Screen at the correct height and distance from your eyes. Ergonomic keyboard, preferably. Chair in the correct height, soft seat, correct angles + YOUR correct position sitting on it. Support for your feet if you can't lay them flat on the floor.

Any other solution (table, sopha, bed, floor, etc.) is not egonomic and is certainly twisting your backbone.

And no, I don't really observe all these rules all the time, but I should. ▲ Collapse
