What if you are traveling?
It may not be possible to observe the best ergonomics practices
when you are using your computer while on the move or in a
“casual” setting. Regardless of the setting, try to observe as many of
the tips for proper usage as possible. Sitting properly and using
adequate lighting, for example, will help you maintain desirable
comfort and performance levels.
Questions about vision?
