I sit this morning in a comfortable chair, eating warm oatmeal with bananas, starring out the window at a decidedly unpleasant day (at least to someone who knows they will be out in the rain and muck and forty degree temperatures shortly trying to load mountains of scrap metal to later haul away and recycle).
So I sit. Focused on the task at hand: this very blog post, my first. I wonder how to make a technology themed school blog happen for I generally feel a great lack in that department.
Technology is uncomfortable for me. No, not the software or hardware or Internet. But the physical bent over, scrunched up awkward position I am forced to take while typing on this IPad.
As an Exercise Science major and Physical Therapy student hopeful, this is particularly troubling. It is not healthy or ergonomic and tends toward promoting a sedentary life style. I often find myself sitting for too long staring at screens in a really uncomfortable position but being so engrossed in what I am doing prevents me from realizing it.
I think it is a problem. One that I hope to be able to help in the future.
