Though this is a security related site, I thought I would address this anyways.

Several of my classmates complain regularly that their eyes hurt after a couple of hours of using their computers…and some after only half an hour!
As for me…my computer has become an extension of my body. Though I’ve never had problems with my eyes hurting I have developed a bump on my left wrist joint that hurts when I touch it. [Should probably get it checked out] I’ve heard of people getting carpel tunnel syndrome, tendonitis and numbness from nerve damage. Argh.

I’m wondering if any of you have experienced computer related injuries? Or do you know of anyone who has?

PS. This woman should win a Darwin award in my opinion [True story!]:
There was a woman whose basement had flooded. Guess what the first thing she did was? She went into her basement where her computer was located and decided to start it up. Unfortunately for her, her computer related injury [or stupidity related injury] could not be ‘fixed’ by a visit to the doctor. RIP.
