Normally, working at a computer isn't considered as harmful as working on a toxic plant, poisonous factory or somewhere similar, though people Web building people (web designers, web developers, SEOs, Internet marketers, usability professionals, accessibility folks and others) spend at least 8 hours a day, building the Web. While doing so, they:
- lose physique by moving as little as possible (does moving a mouse and typing count at all as moving?)
- lose flexibility by spending almost the entire day in one posture (even if there are varios ways of sitting)
- strain their eyes by staring at the screens with small fonts, bizarre graphics, looking for info
- lose the touch on the real life (because they spend 8 hours a day in one spot, not even outside - ok, most of them, Mike Grehan, Google Top 10 for 'computer related health issues', but you can do better.)
What other dangers you think the Web building people should be aware of and how would you advise to improve the working/living conditions?
