| Sales of laptop computers passed desktops (台式电脑) in the US for the first time ever this fall,according to market research firm IDC. That' s bad news for backs,necks and shoulders. "Laptops are basically not designed based on human bodies-unless you' re 2 feet tall," says physician Norman J.Marcus,a muscle (肌肉 ) specialist in New York City. When you work at a computer,the keyboard should be at elbow height,so your upper and lower arms form an angle (角度) of 90 degrees or more.The monitor (显示器) should be at about eye level so you can rest back in a chair with back support. But most users simply set their laptops on a desk or table.The keyboard is too high,which makes your arms reach up,your shoulders rise and your wrists (手腕) bend down.The monitor is too low,which pulls your head and neck forward and down and this may hurt your back. That' s OK if you use your laptop occasionally,for short periods.But if you use one for hours without stopping-as do millions of college students,business travelers,video-gamers and growing numbers of office workers-you' re setting yourself up for muscle problems that can make your entire upper body hurt. Experts have warned about laptop problems for years-but without success.People continue to abandon large and heavy desktops in favor of the smaller and lighter laptops.And WiFi (无线局域网 ) connections let us use laptops anywhere-in bed,on the floor-and in all kinds of positions. |
